Parenting Tips - Christian Life Advice For Parents
(from www.christian-life-advisor.com)

Before your child approaches adolescence, talk with your spouse about your convictions regarding dating, driving, jobs, grades, curfews, friends, and after school activities. Hint: If you don't nail down your own convictions for your child ahead of time, your teenager and his peer group will establish their own.
Talk about how special he is in front of others. (Be sensitive not to embarrass him.)
Ask your child: If someone were encouraging you to do something that might lead to trouble, what would you do?
Have daily devotions and / or weekly family nights with your children.
Try going on a television fast as a family. Pull the plug, and don't watch TV for a week or a month - whatever you decide as a family. Instead, spend time playing family games, talking and building family relationships, reading and so on. You may find that the benefits to your family are so great, you may not feel the need to ever plug the TV in again!
Children must come to an understanding that their words impact others for good and for evil. Train your child to ask himself whether his words honor or dishonor God. He needs to know that he is accountable for every word that slips from his lips, including cursing, slang words that are not wholesome, gossiping or criticizing people behind their backs, and cutting others down.
