There are a few destructive myths about teens that we must overcome. All Pro Dad shares what we need to do with real teens after overcoming the myths.
There’s a mythic nature to the teenage years. I currently have four teenagers, and whenever I share that, people typically get wide-eyed and say something like, I’m so sorry. In many ways, that sentiment is understandable. The teenage years can be rocky. But dealing with real teens also can be a lot of fun. It’s helpful to parse out teen myths from teen reality—and to empower our teens by expecting more from them. When I say expect more, I don't mean we need to set some kind of achievement goal, as in you should get 'A's or you should be on the starting squad. Instead, we need to believe that our kids are actually capable of taking responsibility for themselves and others and of living with compassion. We need to stop believing these three destructive myths.
