Learning From Mistakes (4-08-2011)

PODCAST SCRIPT:

It always amazes me that we allow kids to drive cars at age sixteen—and then go to war at age 18, but that’s the real world.

Often parents are reluctant to let their kids take responsibility because they still think of them as a child. But if they don’t learn in their teenage years, while we can still help them, they’ll end up having to learn on their own.

Learning to take responsibility and use it wisely isn’t a gift granted by age, but by experience. It requires practice. There is no way to protect kids from risk and still let them mature, so start finding ways for your teen to mature, before they go out on their own.
