    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    John Rosemond, in his book “A Family of Value” says parents need to be “good actors,” inspiring their children by displaying confidence in their own decisions – even if they secretly wonder if their decisions are right.

    According to Rosemond, parenting is like leading a country. If the president is indecisive or waffles, the people tend to lose confidence and faith in him.  Applying this leadership principle to your family, vacillating about decisions in front of your teen will cause them to lose faith in you. They’ll think your decisions are arbitrary and subject to change or interpretation.

    On the other hand, acting confident and being consistent in your own decisions will help your teenager remain consistently confident in you.
