  • Imperfect Lessons For Teens (7-12-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Teenagers know their parents aren’t perfect. So, if you’re pretending to be perfect, the only one you’re fooling is yourself.

    Imperfect parents — and we all are – will have a hard time expecting perfection from their kids. Your teen has by now heard stories of your own teenage exploits, so they’ve already begun wondering why they can’t emulate your own missteps, or even worse. After all, you turned out okay.

    So, I recommend you set the record straight by sharing the remorse you feel today for making the mistakes you made in your teen years. It won’t destroy your teen’s image of you. In fact, it will bring you two closer while also teaching them important life lessons.
