    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Not all teenage misbehavior has a psychological cause, as some experts may lead you to believe.

    Every form of misbehavior today seems to have a psychological term and related medication to solve it. Those who coin these terms and patent the medical “cures” can paralyze a parent’s ability to discipline their teen, because that would be insensitive to the child’s so-called “illness.” The fact is, children do not need a sickness to misbehave. It comes naturally and wise parenting can correct it.

    But some struggles are ignited by childhood trauma, loss, or abandonment in the child’s life. When it comes to the surface in the teen years, loving counseling may be the best cure.
