@nextchapterparenting: He may forget what the bike cost. He may forget the seller's name. He may even forget the part that fixed it. But he will not forget the two folding chairs, and the lecture that never came. Your son doesn't need you to prevent every bad deal. He needs to know a mistake isn't the end of the story. Sit down next to him. Write the list together. Let him turn the bolts. #Parenting #Fatherhood #FatherSon #RaisingBoys #TeenBoys
