Have a kid who’s unmotivated, irresponsible and immature? Parents, it’s possible you’re contributing to this cycle of defeat!
The longer a parent holds onto responsibilities that should be gradually transferred to a child… the longer it’ll take for that child to mature. You see, when you hold back real life responsibilities, it just enables immaturity in your teen.
Mom and dad, your teens doesn’t need more friends. They don’t necessarily need more stuff, either. They need a parent… a parent who’s willing to trust their child with responsibility… who won’t rescue a child when consequences come… and who doesn’t flinch when it’s time to let the rope out.
Is that you? Start today… be the parent your son and daughter needs.
