Every Thursday morning at 11:30a, Dan catches up with Parenting Expert Ian Grant from The Parenting Place. Keep an ear out for advice on how to deal with parenting issues as they arise in children of all ages.
Here are the 10 things your teenager should know:
1. Your actions have consequences, and you’re responsible for both
2. If you want good friends, you have to be a good friend
3. If you aim for the sun, you may hit the garden wall; if you aim for the garden wall, you may hit the dirt, so always aim high
4. The 10 commandments are not the 10 suggestions
5. Don’t underestimate the potential with-in you
6. Anyone who never made mistakes never made anything
7. It’s God Almighty, not God all ‘matey’
8. Your brain is your most powerful sex organ so don’t mess it up
9. There are no victims, so don’t buy into victim mentality
10. There is no problem so big that it can’t be solved
