  • Counteracting Teen Selfishness (12-31-2009)

     

    TODAY’S SCRIPT:

    A good way to counteract selfishness and financial foolishness in a teenager is to teach them to give of themselves and their finances to others in need.

    Every teenager needs to experience helping the less fortunate. Wise parents will periodically take them to the local mission to volunteer in the food line. They’ll require that they sponsor a needy child with their own money. Or they’ll visit and help kids in poor neighborhoods or countries where the children there have nothing and are appreciative of everything.

    When teenagers interact with others who are helpless and in desperate need, they soon realize and appreciate how fortunate they really are and how important it is for them to manage their own money and their own future.
