Demanding Teens (7-8-2010)
PODCAST SCRIPT:
Teenagers can be pretty demanding these days.
When I was a teen, birthdays and Christmas were just about the only time my parents handed out gifts. As a result, I learned to work for the extras I wanted. But kids today expect gifts every time their parents visit a store and they treat their parents more like ATM machines.
That’s why I encourage parents to back off and remind their kids, “I owe you nothing, but I want to give you everything. My job as a parent is not to give you everything you may want, but to teach you how to provide for yourself.”
Don’t give in to your teen’s feelings of entitlement. Instead, help them take responsibility for fulfilling their own wants, now and in the future.
——————————————-
COME JULY 15-17 TO LEARN FOR YOURSELF HOW TO TURN AROUND YOUR TEEN — Our Families In Crisis Weekend Retreat is designed to provide the parents of difficult teens many of the skills we teach our own staff. I’ll teach you what you need to know to deal with your misbehaving teen in a totally new and more effective way. Register here: www.familycrisisconference.com
