Life and Death Decisions
Weekly Tip from the Love and Logic^® Experts

Does it seem to you that this world gets faster paced and more complicated each and every day? Compared to people a generation ago, are we faced with far more decisions and temptations than ever before in history? What will the world look like when our kids get there? Will the decisions they face be simpler…or far more difficult? Will the consequences of their decisions be smaller, or will they be a lot larger…often life and death?

Clearly, the world is becoming more temptation-laden every day. That's why it's more important than ever for kids to experience the type of parenting that helps them learn how to make good choices about serious issues. Providing this type of parenting hinges on our awareness of the following:

Kids learn to make great decisions about big and critically important matters by making plenty of poor decisions about small and relatively unimportant matters… and by experiencing the natural and logical consequences.

Are your children making enough affordable mistakes?

Are you allowing them to experience the consequences instead of rescuing them?

Are you holding them accountable with love and empathy…instead of anger, frustration, or lectures?

If you answered "yes" to all three of these questions, the odds are high that your children will have a good enough grasp of cause and effect to survive when life and death decisions come knocking on their door.

Perhaps you know a teen or young adult who wasn’t given this opportunity when the "price tag" of mistakes was small. Can their lives end up becoming chronically sad…or even tragic…when they eventually enter the real world and find themselves grappling with tough decisions? Each year we hear about far too many of these kids on the nightly news.

Thanks for reading! Our goal is to help as many families as possible. If this is a benefit, forward it to a friend.
