The Unexpected Pitfalls of Teasing in Your Family

A lot of families enjoy teasing each other. But parents need to be aware of the risks because children can easily confuse teasing with criticism. Or teasing behavior may actually mask underlying motives of wanting attention, selfishness, or a power-play to make someone feel less valuable. Playful teasing may be okay as long as it’s balanced with genuine love, humility, and lots of encouragement.   Receive the book Shawn and His Amazing Shrinking Sister plus an audio download of the broadcast "The Unexpected Pitfalls of Teasing in Your Family" for your donation of any amount!   Get More Episode Resources   We'd love to hear from you!
