Performance Standard (2-09-2009)

Is your relationship with your teen mixed up with their performance?

There is nothing wrong with expecting your teen to do well with grades, in sports or in other pursuits. In fact, a teen needs to understand your expectations, in line with his abilities in those areas.

But don’t allow him to confuse your love for him, with his performance. Parents need to constantly remind their kids that there is nothing they can do that will make you love them more, and nothing they can do that will make you love them any less.

So, be sure your teen understand his value to you, to your family and to others, and make sure he understand that your approval and love is not based on his success, but on who he is.
