At some point every one of us is hypocritical, but if your child accuses you of being

hypocritical, we're going to address that today.

I'm John Fuller along with Dr. Danny

Danny it's got to be difficult when you hear somebody in your counseling

practice where the child says yeah my parents they said one thing but they

did another they don't live what they preach I mean I'm guessing you've heard this

before oh yeah yeah I mean I've it in my own house but talk about what

that is like in the confines of a counseling session. Yeah so so true it has

happened way too frequently and one of them is they call it their parents on the cussing.

They'll say, you know, our parents tell us not to use bad words and then here they're

using the same exact words they're telling us not to use.

What you know the hypocritical behaviors there.

Big one is when the parents have been talking to them about just their faith and then there's a divorce.

Unfortunately that one has a long lasting effect on kids.

I mean the ripple effect down the road just on belief. on the a ripple effect beyond just that moment. Is there a specific thing that the child is thinking the parent is being

hypocritical about or is it just the general you said you're a Christian you say but you

don't act?

Yeah, it's it's a you say you don't act. Yeah, it's a, you say you're a Christian,

but you're not following the principles

that we know to be Christian that you've taught us.

And now you're not behaving within that space.

And they look at that one behavior, there are a lot of complexities to behaviors that we have as parents
