As a mother of a bunch of awesome teenagers, I feel pretty blessed. I believe it is because of the upbringing our kids have had with good nutrition, essential oils and energy healing. We talk about issues and resolve them with love, natural solutions, and of course lots of essential oils. Here are some suggestions for you to get started with your teenagers. Remember, the best way to encourage your children to be healthy, calm and collected is for you to be the example of that first. Remember you don’t have to be perfect. I am far from perfect but I am going to choose to be happy with my best effort anyways. Best wishes my fellow parents!
