Love & Logic – Wise Words……… Wise Parents know that strong family relationships and good parenting are far more powerful and longer lasting influences than peer pressure.
—————————————————————————————————————————
Despite all of the power other kids can have over each other, parents are still the most influential people in their kids lives. When parents have strong, positive relationships with their kids, kids usually end up pretty responsible, and pretty happy – even if some of their friends are “responsibility challenged.
Despite their valiant attempt during adolescence to be completely different than their parents, kids who love and respect their parents eventually wake up at approximately age thirty, look in the mirror, scream and say, “Oh, my God! I’m just like my mom!”
Young adults who received good parenting as kids once again begin to see their parents’ wisdom. Your teens will reach this point and will think, “Geez, Mom and Dad weren’t so dumb after all!”
We all look forward to those days!
