Experience: the vehicle of history. Teenagers: the driving force behind fatal accidents.

About This Quote

Parents have a tendency to give their children a hard time, especially when the kids are teenagers. They will say things like “That was a stupid thing to do” or “You made a mistake.” As adults, we know that these comments are not helpful. In fact, they can be counterproductive. The reason is that teenagers may take these comments as criticism and end up feeling like they are failures. Instead, what they need to hear is something like “That was an impressive thing to do! You handled yourself very well under pressure” or “You made a good choice.” When parents give compliments in front of their children, they may actually be helping them to grow up with good self-esteem instead of feeling like losers when something goes wrong.
