  • Prescription for Peer Pressure (6-22-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Pressure by their peers to break or bend your rules is difficult for your child to avoid during the teen years. But there’s one way to deter such mistakes.

    When given the choice between right and wrong, your teen will be better equipped to make an informed choice – the right choice — if they know the exact consequences well in advance. Losing the car, cell phone or their freedom on weekends can become both a deterrent and a valid excuse to offer their provoking friends.

    There’s nothing like knowing what’s in store. If the consequences are clear, and if the pain expected to result from the misbehavior outweighs the pleasure, your teen will have ample reason to avoid it.
