Parenting Tip # 203
Did you know that you can teach compelling life lessons through your child?s activities? For instance, you can teach the importance of commitment and loyalty. When your child signs up for an activity, do not allow him to drop out unless he is encountering a serious difficulty, such as an abusive coach or a health-threatening situation. Use the opportunity to show him how he needs to follow through on the commitment made to others.Parenting Today's Adolescent: Helping Your Child Avoid the Traps of the Preteen and Teen Years
