When you made mistakes, you didn’t want to hear your mom or dad rub it in. And your kids don’t wanna feel shame from you when they make mistakes either. When they’ve messed up, beware of using comments like … “You should have listened.” “I hope you learned your lesson.” Or… “I told you so.” You don’t have to shame your kids… they already know they made a mistake. Instead, stay quiet. Let the consequences teach the lesson and continue to love your child through the entire situation. Hey, maybe you’ll be the one to break the generational saying … “I told you so!” ©2013 Mark Gregston www.parentingtodaysteens.org. Email: markgregston@heartlightministries.org. Phone: 1-866-700-3264
