Cuando las consecuencias no son suficientes

You and I grew up believing that consequences mattered. Today our children laugh at consequences.
Parenting has changed. How can you warn your children about bad decisions? Why don't they believe you any more? Today's generation is willing to take the chance that they won't get caught, it won't be them, they will beat the odds. In fact, injury can come as a badge of honor now. So how do you challenge your children to resist what is wrong? How do you get them to obey the law, to stay away from drugs, and to avoid premarital sex? "If you do X, then Y will happen" is bogus in their thinking.
