Guest Post for Tor
Today, I’m honored to be posting at The Daily Retort for my friend Tor Constantino.
Tor and his wife just added a son to their family, and I couldn’t be happier for them! In honor of Junior’s birth, and to prepare the Constantinos for the impending teen years, I have shared some tips for for getting through it all, including:
- Choose your battles
- Follow your gut
- Trust but verify
- Listen to anything
- Be consistent
- Stand firm
Stop on by Tor’s site, congratulate him on his new arrival, and share your own survival tips!!
If you’re visiting here from The Daily ReTORt, welcome! I write mainly about adoption/orphancare issues and making a difference in the world. For a little Friday fun, I share snippets of a fiction project I’m working on, too.
You can learn more about our adoption story here, or see a few other samples of my writing here.

About Christine
I am a writer, a project manager, and a corporate refugee with a heart for orphans around the world. My two daughters were adopted from Ukraine at ages 12 and 14. I post about writing, chasing dreams, and making a difference in the world, and sometimes I share fun snippets of fiction in-progress.
Great insight and wisdom Christine – thanks so much for the guest post! I’m archiving this one to dust off in a couple years when our oldest is a teen (yikes)!
Thanks for the opportunity, Tor. It was an honor to contribute to both your community and your family! You’ll be knee-deep in the teen hormones before you know it!!
Stopping by from the Wrecked team. I LOVE your bloggy world. Blessings.
Thanks so much for stopping by Alene! Looking forward to getting Wrecked with you!
