>> there's a study that says teens who talk back to their parents may have a brighter future. >> not in your home but some place else. >> anyway, they say it's a natural part of development to have, you know, those kinds of little tangles with your parents, and if you talk back they think that you're reasoning something out, you're making a discussion as opposed to you telling your child do it because i said so. and they say okay. >> it's the term talk back. now we say getting sassy in our house or a little too sassy. yeah. i mean everything has to be done respectfully. what we are really missing in our country is a respect for any kind of authority at all. and so the talk back thing, you know -- here's the trouble. most parents don't want to listen to their children. yeah. i had one of these with cass the other night. we said we're going keep it nice and low the volume and turn everything off. everything off and we're going sit and talk this out because we both want the same thing for each other.
2:12 am
we love each other and we want to come to a resolution of something. it was great. >> i do think it's interesting. i remember there were four grown women who were all ceos or ceos or something high up. and i remember asking their parents saying to them what did you do to make these four women, they are all ceos, were you so tough on them and they said this is the only thing we did differently. when my kid said i have a three speed bike and i want a ten-speed bike and the parent would say, well, why? if they said, everyone has one. they said write a proposal and give me the reasons why you think it's a good idea. the child wrote back because when i ride back and forth to school i'll shave five minutes off my time and i can spend more time here. when i do x, i can do y. they reasoned through things. all those kids learned that process at an early age. when you look at the parents they are soft spoken and easy
