  • Learning From Your Mistakes (7-13-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    If you want your teen to talk about their problems, their mistakes and their hurts, then open up and talk honestly about some of your own.

    When a parent admits their own problems, their stupid mistakes, and the messes they’ve made in life, their teenager will also feel that they can be open about their own problems. After all, you now have something in common.

    It’s amazing to me how parents try to put on an appearance of perfection, while at the same time they make their teenager feel like an outsider. The teen really needs to hear the struggles the parent had when they were a teen. That’s something they can relate to.
