Why Should I? Wednesdays: Our kids are influenced every day at home, in their communities, and in media. Peer pressure can exert a powerful influence because friends play such a significant role in the lives of our children. Teens begin to question the authority of parents, schools, government, and other traditional institutions. Their ability to think abstractly allows them to establish their own identity, to include their own belief system. Engaging our youth in discussions about moral reasoning can guide the development of their values and decision-making skills. It can also allow them to show off a different perspective to a dilemma, one which you may not have considered.
