    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Have you ever considered that there may be a silver lining to your teen being sneaky about his wrongdoing?

    Most parents are concerned when their teenager is acting sneaky, and they should be! But the way I look at it, it also reassures the parent that their teen knows they are doing wrong. In other words, they’ve been taught well…they know the rules…but they’ve been temporarily distracted. I’d be more concerned with kids who don’t see anything wrong with what they are doing.

    When a teen is being sneaky, parents can work to uncover their wrongdoing and the influences that are encouraging it. They can more easily help their teen make a course correction, because their teenager already knows better.
