On this first Motivational Monday of the year (in May) Mr. Palumbo has a message for parents fighting the good fight. Life is about expectations, consequences and merit. Because of this all parents should place expectations on their kids and there should also be consequences in relation to breaking those expectations. Why? Because that's how life works. If your child (especially teenager) hates you or thinks you're the worst...that probably means you're doing something right. A parent's job is to parent not be a hip, cool friend.
