  • Constructive Feedback for Teens (7-15-2009)

     

    SCRIPT:

    Constructive feedback can light the way for the most positive and rewarding moments in parenting teens.

    Well-timed, well-focused feedback is a powerful tool that can encourage good decisions and shore up wobbly relationships.        

    The key to helping your teen benefit from positive feedback is to deliver it at the right moment, in the right way and with the right motives.

    Simply name something positive, tell them why it was good, and encourage them to look for more ways to do the same.   Then give them a hug, offer them more freedom as a reward for their good judgment.  It will go a long way toward encouraging good judgment in the future.
