Positive Reinforcement (1-21-2009)
We sometimes forget that reward is just as valuable a training tool for teenagers as handing out consequences.One wise way to help a teen learn responsible behavior is to look for the times when they do something right, and reward them for their progress. When you praise their wise choices, and take the focus off of their mistakes, it begins a positive cycle of right thinking and right living.Instead of grounding or taking away their favorite thing, seek chances to reward them, and give them more opportunities to make more right choices.
Reward their right thinking with a more freedoms, like later curfews or more time with friends, and congratulate their progress the minute you see it.

Parenting Today's Teens is a one-minute daily broadcast hosted by Mark Gregston, focusing on teen parenting issues. It is a voice amidst the darkness many parents of teens are feeling as they try to deal with the influence of today's culture on their teen. It is a forum for Mark Gregston to share what he's learned from over 30 years working with teenagers and their families at the Heartlight Residential Counseling Center for Teens.
When you need help finding a Christian boarding school for girls or a therapeutic boarding school for girls, our referrals department can help. We also refer to therapeutic boarding schools for teens and rehabs for boys and wilderness programs. Some Christian boarding schools are coed, and others are Christian boarding schools for boys. Finally, we can refer you to boys ranches or therapeutic boys homes.
