About this ebook

Sometimes the most important things in life are the hardest to talk about. Whether it's the keys to the car or the keys to life, this book helps parents and teens talk about the tough issues that matter most:

• Honesty-the truth advantage
• Get high on life not drugs
• Choices-dating and sex
• Study to secure your future
• Making and keeping money
• Picking good friends
• Chores and doing your part
• Being the best you
• Choosing your attitude
• Valuing faith and patriotism

Learning the secrets of making life work doesn't have to be painful....or boring. Dr. Terry Paulson has written a reassuring and practical book that helps teens and parents talk and laugh together about life's most important lessons.

“Dr. Paulson hits the mark with his timely messages for teens. As a mother of a teenager, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and can’t wait to give it to my daughter.” Jodi Walker

“Have this on your family vacation. When you have kids captive in the back seat with time to kill, read one of the lectures and have a great conversation before it really is a lecture you wish you had said.” Robert Tucker

“What an inspiration for teens. Being around middle school students all day, I wish I could get them all to read this book to help make their teen years easier.” Linda Gronski

Terry Paulson, a PhD psychologist and award-winning professional speaker, leverages his experience as a youth director and parent to inspire teens and parents alike. Visit www.terrypaulson.com.

This book has helped thousands of parents and teens learn a time-tested roadmap to adulthood. Anchored in values and filled with simple wisdom, let this prerequisite for “Life 101” show you the way, too!

    Dedication

    This fun collection of cartoons, quotes and favorite family lectures is dedicated to the extended Paulson Family Clan who have taken no journey or attacked no problem without first making sure that they had their faith and their laughter packed along for the ride. This collection of wisdom for the ages would not have been possible without the love and support of the couple at the head of our clan, Homer and Ann Paulson. Since the beginning, they allowed laughter and good family discussions to reside in our home every day.

    Let me add a special tribute to my son and his wife, Sean and Nicole Paulson, who have blessed us with Micah, Jeremiah, Naomi and Chloe. With grandchildren like these, the clan has many lectures yet to come!

    Let me also acknowledge my illustrator, Howard Derocco, whose artistic talent brought these timeless Favorite Family Lectures to life through his on-target cartoons.

    Finally, let me thank all the parents and teens who took surveys to isolate the favorite family lectures they most needed to share and learn.

    Introduction

    After God created Adam and Eve, he gave them a baby. Then to keep the whole thing from falling apart, he invented humor. After they had to give back their keys to the Garden of Eden for eating the apple, God told them they would now have to work. He took back the apartment with a view but let them keep their sense of humor.

    We now have kids with no warranty
