  • Wrong Thinking in Teens (8-8-2011)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Proverbs 12:15 says, “The way of the fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.”

    The Bible says that wrong behavior is directly related to wrong thinking. Parents often say, “She does what she does, because she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her.” Or, “My son always thinks his problem is someone else’s fault.”

    Teens are generally foolish in their thinking. It goes with the territory! But by correcting wrong thinking through enforcing consequences, a parent gives a teenager time and opportunity to process some new thoughts about the way they are behaving, and ultimately correct their wrong thinking.

    Eventually, as they wise up, they may even begin listening to your advice. (Imagine that!)
