Charles M. Schulz for Parent Counselor!
When dealing with my teenager, I have concluded that Charles Schulz had an immeasurable amount of knowledge about our kids. You know what I mean, you talk to them until you are blue in the face and turn around and it seems it was just wasted spit! Reflecting back to all of those times, I’m looking at it through Charles Schulz’s eyes and everything makes more sense.
What we say: You really need to clean your room. I fear that it has become a health hazard.
What they hear: Blah, blah, blah, blah.
What we say: Grades are important; you are setting yourself up for college.
What they hear: Blah, blah, blah, blah.
What we say: Get outside and mow the lawn, the grass now cover’s my ankles.
What they hear: Blah, blah, blah, blah.
What we say: Don’t stand there at the refrigerator with the door open like that; you don’t pay the electric bill.
What they hear: Blah, blah, blah, blah.
What we say: Get out of your room; go outside, you could use some vitamin D.
What they hear: Blah, blah, blah, blah.
What we say: Take out the garbage….NOW!
What they hear: Blah, blah, blah, blah.
