Don’t Provoke Your Teenage Children to Anger

CS Lewis on parents to teenagers: Don’t Provoke Your Teenage Children to Anger - Desiring God:
We hear a great deal about the rudeness of the rising generation. I am an oldster myself and might be expected to take the oldsters' side, but in fact I have been far more impressed by the bad manners of parents to children than by those of children to parents.

Who has not been the embarrassed guest at family meals where the father or mother treated their grown-up offspring with an incivility which, offered to any other young people, would simply have terminated the acquaintance?
