Common Sense Guide to Parenting

Raising effective YouthRaising effective youth.

An effective youth is one who can achieve their desired goals. Our role as active parents is to guide our youth through the formative years so that our children can grow independent and free. Raising a youth that can meet their desired objectives is a challenge.

Every youth is different—every youth has potential. However, without the proper guidance the potential can remain unrealized. As parents we are faced with a rapidly changing world where the rules we grew up with may no longer apply. How do we make sense of the issues facing our youth today? Societal and peer group pressures can force the youth to make emotional decisions with sometimes dire consequences.

We must begin as we intend to end modeling consistency and teaching reason. Parents have the opportunity to experience the greatest rewards of raising an effective youth
