Episode Details

The purpose of rules and consequences is to guide teens to where they want to go and to keep them from where they don’t want to end up. They do not serve to bring peace to our lives, but rather to build up a child’s character. In today’s episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss why parents must establish a relationship with their teen before successfully implementing authority, and how rules should be simple, relevant, attainable and beneficial.
