Peter - The Boy Who Treated Himself Like Someone He was Responsible for - An E3D Original Improvised Story based on 12 Rules for Life - a podcast by Storyteller Martyn Kenneth

Peter broke all the rules. But now he was making them for himself again. This series of 13 improvised short stories are based on Jordan B Peterson's 12 Rules for Life. I have had his book on my shelf for 6 months and have a high level of respect for the man. This is a fun way for me to make myself read each chapter and then try and improvise it into a bedtime story - one for each rule. This story is based on rule number 2 - Treat yourself like you are someone you are responsible for helping. Which I took to mean this - Being responsible for my child means I do what is right and not just what will make him happy. Sometimes the right thing is not enjoyable. We need to look after ourselves so that we may then look after others. But only if they want to be helped.
I hope JBP is taking care of himself!
