Personal accountability refers to a mindset where things do not happen in your life without your consent or influence, and you embrace your role in the way your life is shaped by taking control of and responsibility for your actions or inaction. This includes consequences you may face or recognition bestowed upon you.
Example: I want a particular thing to happen in my life which requires me to do certain actions and behaviors. If I do not do those actions or behaviors I should not expect the outcome I wanted and it is through my own behavior that this occurred. I can’t mope, get mad, cry, stomp my feet to make things happen any other way. It not only is not fair to others involved but it is not realistic to go through life that way.
How do you teach that to a teenager? Or a mother protective of her baby boy?
