Tweens, Teens, and even adults seem to suffer from a worry, anxiety, and meaninglessness in our lives today. We need to remember though that we can’t expect children (even us adults!) to behave better when we are feeling bad. We can’t teach children to behave better by making them feel worse. When we feel better, we do better. And Maya Angelou, famous poet said, “when we know better, we do better.”
