    TODAY’S SCRIPT:

    Teenagers can treat their home as if it is a vacation resort and their parents as if they are their personal maids. And some parents wrongly think it is showing love for their teen to allow it.

    When a child reaches the early teen years, parents should retire their maid uniforms and put on supervisor hats.

    Teenagers need to be given responsibility for their own environment. So instead of doing everything for them, supervise them doing their own laundry, washing the dishes, vacuuming and cleaning up their own bathroom. They may not do it perfectly, but practice makes perfect.

    After all, teaching teens to do simple chores will help them become self-disciplined and capable of fending for themselves in the real world once they leave home.
