No matter what age you're child is they will always need you're love and affection. There will be many times during their life when they do things that annoy and anger you but that is maybe when they need that love even more. Teenagers rebel, we all know that and its been like that throughout history. Christian children are no different but we hope we wont have to deal with many of the issues that non-Christian children go through. As parents we do our best and try to lead by example. That's why we need to look at our own lives to see if we are living a christian life because our children need us to be an example of God's love.
I know I am a great dad to my 10 year old son and I try to live a life that lives up to what I ask of him. My son knows he can always come to me and we will find a solution to whatever problem he is going through. He wont wait until the problem becomes massive because he knows I am there for him and he trusts and loves me. We have built up a good relationship and it is how we build that relationship now that will mean more to him in the future.
If you come down hard on you're child he/she will not come to you with their problems and if you are so strict you can bet they will rebel even more. There is a happy balance and that is what you must reach.
We are a product of the environment that we grow up in.
