Judging a Book by Its Cover
Believe it or not, you can’t judge a teen by his behavior any more than you can judge a book by
its cover.
When it comes to teens, what you see is not always what you get. What may look like
uncontrolled rebellion to a parent, may be nothing more than misplaced desire for independence
in the teen. Or… what comes across as an angry kid… may expose some of your own
weaknesses!
It’s not always easy to tell the difference, however. So that’s where you and I need to do some
digging. Look behind the behavior. Ask some questions. Wait for answers.
Don’t judge a book by its cover. And don’t judge a teen by behavior!
