"Rules without relationship leads to rebellion" (Josh McDowell)

“Doc, I want you to evaluate my 13 year old son”

 

 

Parent: “Doc, I want you to evaluate my 13 year old son.”

Doc: “OK, he’s suffering from a transient psychosis with an intermettent rage disorder, punctuated by episodic radical mood swings, but his prognosis is good for a full recovery.”

Parent: “What does all that mean?”

Doc: “He’s 13.”

Parent: “How can you tell all that without even meeting him?”

Doc: “He’s 13.”
