      Just Do It, Kid - Dr. Joyce W. Teal

      Kid!

      Introduction

      Don’t Sweat It, Kid, Volume 3, completes the set! It is the final volume in a three-set volume of books. Like Volume 1 and Volume 2, Volume 3 can potentially point you in a new and more positive direction, and also like the previous two books, it has been written especially for you.

      You are entering or passing through your adolescent years. From this phase of your life, you will emerge an adult. Each of your other life phases: infancy, toddler, young child and adolescence, are all temporary phases. Your next and final phase, adulthood, is permanent. And the adult that you will become will be shaped by the child you were. If you want to become an adult of character, the kind of adult whom you admire and respect right now, be aware that that is possible for you. In order for that to happen, however, there are some things that you will have to be willing to do, and there are some things that you will have to refuse to do.

      Your belief system and many of your life-long habits are already in place. Because this is so, the practice that you experience as you deal with the successes and failures in your life and as you act and react to the frustrations and disappointments you encounter as an inevitable part of the living experience, will mold you into the adult you become. This is why it is so important that you get a grip on the reality that you do not have to sweat the small stuff, and as has already been said, most of it is small stuff.

      In Volumes 1 and 2, you learned that some choices in your life can be made only by you. One such choice is the choice of how you will act and react as you interact with other people during the difficult times in your life.

      Read this book with an open mind. Share it too with a friend. Engage in dialogue about the topics and ideas expressed in this book. After you have finished it, if you find that there are topics that are not included in this volume, refer to Volume 1 and Volume 2.

      You will find a page at the back of this volume in which you can list additional topics of interest to you. If you’d like, you can E-mail them to:joycewteal@gmail.com. If there is adequate response to this idea, I’ll write Volume 4 of Don’t Sweat It, Kid.

      Accepting Discipline

      Accepting discipline is very hard for some kids. It makes them angry and resentful, even when it is merited. If you are one of these kids, you need to take a step back in order to gain perspective. After you have done this, your next step is to think about this: discipline is designed for your good, and the people who desire to see you grow and develop into a self-disciplined individual are the people who care about you.

      While you are thinking, I will also tell you that the more self-disciplined your are, the less discipline you will need from others whether they are your parents, teachers, or other people in authority in your life. That it is important to know yourself has already been established. If you know that you are one of the kids who get all bent out of shape whenever you are disciplined, one of the things you can do is examine why this is so. As an intelligent young person, you are aware when you have spoken or behaved inappropriately. When this has happened and your parents or teachers or other authority figures in your life are made aware of it, would you rather they just shrug, give you a pat on the back and say it’s okay? Think about this for a few minutes. Honestly reflect upon it and I believe you’ll begin to see that it doesn’t even make sense that you would have this expectation. Of course the adults who care about you will not allow you to speak or behave inappropriately with no disciplinary consequences. If they did, they would be remiss in their responsibility to you!

      In light of this, you should begin to understand that grown-ups who care about you and are in
