  • Teens Who Demand Too Much (9-02-2009)

     

    TODAY’S SCRIPT:

    Does your teenager demand too much of you?

    A teen who constantly demands money and material things needs to hear a different response from a parent. Something like this: “Son, thanks for telling me what you want, but this appears to be more of a demand of me, than a request for my help. I want you to have everything in life, but at this stage, my greatest gift to you would be to encourage you to make and manage your own money, instead of handing it to you.”

    Hearing this, the demanding teenager will quickly learn that they better begin earning their own way in life, and stop leaning on mom and dad for their every want.
