  • Positive Feedback (1-25-2011)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Kids may not go out of their way to say so, but they value positive feedback from their parents more than from just about anybody.

    A parent’s well-timed feedback can encourage good decisions and shore up wobbly relationships. The key is to deliver feedback at the right moment, in the right way, and with the right motives.

    So be on the lookout for mature behavior in your teenager and then use that moment to encourage more of the same.  Tell them how proud you are of them and offer them more freedoms as a reward, like use of the car or a later curfew. It will go a long way toward encouraging maturity and good judgment in your teenager in the future.
