You will be a
role model for your youth, this means you must be a good one. You
need to always be the adult in the relationship
- Show them love and respect and commitment so that they will
show these things to each other and you.
- Don't let their adulation go to your head. It doesn't mean
anything, they are just being adolescent.
- On the other hand, you don't have to react to insults, put
downs, and personal attacks. They are children, what does it matter
if they get tacky some times? Just ignore these childish comments.
- Be a clear example of a Christian adult. Expect the same of
your adults sponsors.
- You need to remain the adult at all times, but especially in
disputes and discipline issues. Look at the situation and decide if
it is worth a struggle or it is simply a power struggle or a minor
issue. (“In the scale of eternity, winning this battle is...”).
- They will be volatile, so no one interaction means that much.
If they go berserk one week, they may be kind and caring the next –
give them that opportunity to be changeable. Do not lock them into
a stereotypes based on one bad day.
