Take
a rubber band, and stretch it between the thumb and index finger of one hand.
Hold it there for as long as you can. Answer the following questions in your
journal.
- At what state is the energy in
the rubber band? Potential energy is
stored in the rubber band in its
stretched form.
- As your hand gets tired, what
state of energy is it fighting against? The rubber band’s potential energy.
- Release the rubber band from
your finger. At what state is the energy in the rubber band as it is
released? Kinetic energy.
Why do parents get tired of fighting with their teenaged children?
Your teen is the rubber band. You raised your child to think for
herself or himself, now they are almost adults and want to explore. You think
that they aren’t yet mature enough to do some things and they perceive this as
stifling their growth. Why are you so tired? Because you are fighting against
their POTENTIAL.
