Have you ever been in public and noticed a parent who was disappointed with his child?  You don’t even have to eavesdrop.  You can read the emotion all over their faces!

The dad’s eyebrows are furrowed.  The child’s lower lip is stickin’ out.  It’s a showdown of wills between father and son.

Hey, a parent’s attitude toward his child is publically known.  There will always be times when you and I are frustrated or disappointed with our kids.  But too many moms and dads have adopted a disappointed vibe.  And it’s like nothing the kid does can bring a smile.

And you know what?  That’s not only clear to the people around you… but it’s abundantly clear to your teen!  So… what are you broadcasting?  What’s your attitude toward your kids?
