  • The Mirror Of Injustice (8-31-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Teenagers have an uncanny need for justice.

    In your teen has any spunk at all, he’s going to rebel against rules that aren’t fair or equitable. The need to be treated justly is a strong drive in every teenager.

    So, being hypocritical in your own life is asking your teen to rebel against the injustice of it. For instance, taking their car away for getting a speeding ticket makes no sense when they know you speed all the time. And demanding that they talk with respect to you while you talk rudely to them just doesn’t match up.

    The point is this, don’t ask your teen to do anything you won’t do yourself. That’s just asking them to rebel.
