Parenting Teens: A Few Things I have Learned From My Kids

1) Guinea pigs can indeed be neutered

2) The kids can go sledding for hours in the snow with no boots or real winter coats or wearing a hat and not get sick.

3) Poutine is not a dirty word. Canadians will not be surprised that this is so

4) It is possible to carry on several conversations, employing a multitude of medias and keep up with them all as long as a parent is not trying to communicate with said teen at the same time.

5) Love grows.

My children have taught me to truly feel love and that because they help continue to help me feel that way. They remind me of the many gifts we receive on our lives.

My daughter has taught me about art, my son about technology. I try to be open to their interests and learn as much as I can without losing myself.

My children taught me that I never really knew the depth of loving unselfishly and unconditionally until they came into my life.
