This morning I've been reading "Meet Me In the Middle" by Rick Wormelli. In it he quotes Carol G. Freeman on surviving adolescence:
"These are the years in which they learn how to interact with the world around them. At times they will lie, cheat, bully, and make you want to volunteer them to test bungee cords. However, keep in mind that they are a work in progress and may be super-gluing their tongue to thier locker one day and organizing a recycling effor the next. Therefore, we must view thier indiscretions as opportunities for growth. But we must make it absolutely clear that we place a high value on respect and be prepared to stand by this priority."
Well said. Especially the super-glue part.
