Take It as a Compliment




Parenting Today’s Teens show

Summary: (Click title to listen)PODCAST SCRIPT: Has your child ever said this to you:  “I don’t need any help!”  “I can do it on my own!” If you have a teen living under your roof, chances are you hear those words all the time.  And if they aren’t saying it with their mouths, they’re certainly saying it with their actions!  But rather than viewing such communication as a slap in the face from an ungrateful child… I’d encourage you to take it as a compliment! What I mean is this.  Disrespect should never be allowed… but your goal as a mom or dad is to raise healthy, independent children.  Right?  Well then …why not celebrate when the kids start to spread their wings?  Let them strike out on their own!  Let them “do it all by themselves”!   ©2013 Mark Gregston www.parentingtodaysteens.org.
