Just spend time with them, For the most part i just listen to them.
Listen to them...hear what they are saying and not have a pre-conclusions.
wait until they finish talking. don't intrupt them while they are
expressing themselves. In other words don't fix them.
Just love them.

Pretty much how people treated me in recovery and passing on living
tools the I've learned in recovery.

A lot of encouraging them. Whatever they want out of life is okay.
Their dreams shouldn't be for them to make me or thier parents feel okay
or live that way of what i think is right for them.

Allowing them to feel what they feel.
Bascailly respecting them as human beings.
Ask them to do things...don't tell them.

don't label them

Sometimes i had to remind myself, I sicker than they are.
Becuase they are relative young and havn't gone through
it as long as i have. In some situations i learn from them.

Yes, i know I'm the adult..I guess that's what makes me
an adult, knowing that i can learn some everyone.
