Summary: (Click title to listen)PODCAST SCRIPT: How does your teen see you? Does she know you love her? Does he get that you’ve made mistakes, too? It’s not uncommon to find a mom or dad who wants to come across to their teen like they’ve got it all together. They don’t want to be seen making mistakes… or having to apologize. But one of the things I think is healthy for parents and teens… is honesty. In fact, let your teenager see that you have shortcomings and setbacks. It’ll cause two things to happen. First, they’ll cut you some slack… because no one is perfect. Then, they’ll be more realistic about themselves. I hope that together… you and your teen can give each other grace. You’ll both have your mistakes. But admitting your weaknesses only deepens your relationship! ©2013 Mark Gregston www.parentingtodaysteens.org. Email: markgregston@heartlightministries.org.
