  • Reward Your Teen (8-29-2011)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    Teenagers learn to behave responsibly when they are rewarded for doing things right.

    Encouraging your teenager when he makes good decisions will go a long way toward building up his desire to go on making wise decisions.

    So, when he gets it right – approve! Applaud! Speak up and celebrate!  Teenagers value a parent’s approval more than anything. But another thing they value almost as much is freedom. So allow some added freedoms to be the reward. A little extra curfew time…the use of a car…more time with friends. These all can be used to encourage good decisions. Then sit back and see how responsible your teen can be.
