Affirmation-sense of authenticity (Romans 12:15)<\/strong><br \/>\na.    Don\u2019t use Scripture as a buffer to building relationships<br \/>\nb.    Apply Scripture, don\u2019t just quote it<br \/>\nc.    Let them know you understand<br \/>\n<strong> 2.    Acceptance-sense of security (Romans 15:7)<\/strong><br \/>\na.    We are dealing with emotional problems at home by using chemicals at school<br \/>\nb.    Do I acknowledge effort as much as I acknowledge success?<br \/>\nc.    The secure a person is, the more vulnerable they are.  The more vulnerable they are, the                     more transparent they will be.<br \/>\nd.    Be careful that unconditional acceptance doesn\u2019t lead to wrong behavior<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.    Appreciation-sense of significance (Matthew 3:17)<\/strong><br \/>\na.    Significance is the feeling or thought that you\u2019ve \u2018done\u2019 or \u2018said\u2019 something worthwhile<br \/>\nb.    Catch them doing something right and show them appreciation<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.    Availability-sense of importance (Matthew 19:13-14)<\/strong><br \/>\na.    What are you doing to be a winner in the eyes of your kids?<br \/>\nb.    When is the last time you really did what is most important?<br \/>\nc.    Availability shows your kids that they are important<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.    Affection-sense of lovability (John 15:12)<\/strong><br \/>\na.    Verbally express affection<br \/>\nb.    Express appropriate physical affection<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.    Approach their world-sense that you are interested in what they care about (I Corinthians 13:5)<\/strong><br \/>\na.    Be aware of what they are interested in so that you can identify with them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.    Accountability-sense of responsibility<\/strong><br \/>\na.    Reasonable rules and boundaries in the context of a relationship<br \/>\nb.
