Does your child obey every rule? Most parents set rules and expect their chil- dren to follow them. There are certain times children are more likely to push the limits, however. The "terrible twos" and "terrible threes" are an ex- ample, where children are learning rapidly and figur- ing out their limits. This time is often difficult, and when parents survive those years they may feel like they see the light at the end of the tunnel. And then there are the pre- teen years, filled with puber- ty and mood swings. Most first-time parents aren't to- tally prepared for the pre- teen and teenage years. Par- ents still have rules and lim- itations, but a teenager may see them more as guidelines than firm rules. Parents often find them- selves in a situation where they are not ready to give up control, but their teen may feel they are ready to make more decisions on their own. What is normal behav- ior? How can you be sure that your teenager is on the right path? There are many things that happen during the teen years that worry parents. When our kids are little we let them fall down because it teaches them to get back up. As they get older some parents may start to shelter their kids more. Their mis- takes and falls come with higher risks, and parents may want to protect them from the consequences of their mistakes. Recently, at a training pro- vided by Dr. Kenneth Gins- burg, he stated that parents and children are like a jig- saw puzzle. Parents and their rules are the outside boundaries of the puzzle. The choices children make are the interior of the puzzle. They won't always put the right pieces together at first, but they can have the safe space within the boundaries to make those mistakes. It is normal for your teen- ager to distance himself or herself from you. They are going to start prioritizing time with their friends over time with family. This is nor- mal and healthy teen devel- opment. It is important for them to form strong peer rela- tionships. Something pos- itive you can do for them during this time is to give them healthy perimeters for spending time with their friends. Know who they're with, what their plans are and give them an appropri- ate curfew. Some slight risk-taking behaviors are also normal. It is okay for your child to push the boundaries a little bit. They are seeking the freedom that comes with adulthood. With all choices there are consequences, and this al- so needs to be true for your teen. You need to set bound- aries, knowing there might be times when your teenag- er will push the limits. When your teen breaks rules that you have in place, it is still important to im- plement appropriate conse- quences. Their adult lives will not be without conse- quences. It is important that we allow our children to ex- perience both the positive and negative consequenc- es that accompany the deci- sions they make.

SLOW COOKER HAMBURGER HASH By Monica Sinclair How many nights a week are you able to cook? For me, by the time I get home from work, I either don't have time or I don't have the energy to prepare a meal. That's why I love my crock-pot. I can just dump everything in it before work and have dinner ready when I get home. This week, I found another easy recipe for your slow cooker, which requires a little prep time but would be perfect for Sunday dinner when you get home from church. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS • 1 lb. ground beef • 1 cup white onion, diced • 1/4 tsp. salt • 1/4 tsp. pepper • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder • 2 10.75 oz. cans cream of mushroom soup, do not add water • 1 15.25 oz. can corn, drain well • 1.5 lbs. russet potatoes (about 5 cups diced) • 2 cups shredded sharp cheese, divided DIRECTIONS 1. Brown the beef and onion together in a large skil- let over medium-high heat. Drain the fat. 2. Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut them into cubes, leave the skin on. Add the potatoes to the slow cooker. 3. Pour the meat and onion over the potatoes. 4. Add the soup, salt, pepper, garlic powder, corn and half of the cheese. Stir. Spread out the hash into a flat layer. 5. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours without open- ing the lid during the cooking time. 6. Add the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the hash. Cover and let the cheese melt for about 10 minutes.
