Words for Teenagers


This was written in 1959 and the advice is timeless.
As a mom of a 16 year old & 11 year old I need to stress this message everyday. I admit it is not always easy. Sometimes it is easier to just do it myself and try to not fight with him. I kind of blame myself because when he was little I was the entertainment committee and made sure he was always entertained. Now that he is 16 he expects me to do everything for him and resents having to do things himself. It's hard to reverse what I put in play years ago but  it must be done no matter how tough.
I hope this article prompts others to make kids do for themselves.
