I really like the suggestion of saying to our teenager, “You’ve got some decisions, choices and results to make" and following through with the consequences if they don't choose well. It's amazing how many adults I've ran across who take no responsibility for their choices or actions. It's so important that we teach our children to choose well and be accountable! Thanks for the great article. :) Thanks for the great tips.

Teens are often misunderstood. We'll only make things worse if we keep on making decisions without carefully considering and understanding what they really feel. Great suggestions.

I like the idea of providing an illusion of choice and control. We certainly don't want them to be dependent on their parents for the rest of their lives. Very nice tips.
