THANKSGIVING AND TEENS

As we approach Thanksgiving we have our own memories and traditions that we hold on to. We have expected family time, usually with extended family. That is something that goes very well in some families and goes very badly in others. For our children this can also be true. As I talk with teenagers in my office they tell me all kinds of things about their family Thanksgivings. For some they are looking forward to connecting to extended family. For others they are dreading the drama that is usually created. Help you teens talk about the holiday and find ways to enjoy it. Sherri
