My Oldest Daughter
Recently, my oldest daughter has begun telling me that everything is not her fault. When she does something wrong, it’s not her fault because so-and-so did such and such. Usually, she twists it around to make it somehow my fault. It drives me crazy, and I know that it is not good for her. She needs to learn to be responsible for her own actions, or she may find herself in a heap of trouble when she gets older. It has gotten me thinking about accountability. What is Acountability? Why is it important? If I can answer these questions, perhaps I can teach the concepts to her.
