TEN COMMANDMENTS for Parents & Teens

Last week at Journey Class (our midweek Bible study) we gave our students an opportunity to write "Ten Commandments" that all parents & teenagers should do.   Here's a condensed list of what they came up with.  There were SO MANY good ones but these stuck out to me. PARENTS SHOULD...

1. Not try to be Kool "with a K" (This created MUCH laughter and "AMENS" throughout the room)
2. Not yell
3. Listen to their kids sometimes
4. Not "cling"
5. Not make their child be just like them
6. Be caring
7. Be Fun
8. Be more laid back
9. Be more willing to do stuff with us
10. Be good at parenting

TEENAGERS SHOULD...

1. Be respectful
2. Not lie
3. Stick up for themselves
4. Be active
5. Follow/Obey rules
6. Help their parents when they need it
7. Be good at being a friend
8. Talk
9. Tell parents they love them.
10. Be Fun
