Parenting Towards Independence: Setting Rules for Teenagers
How successful your child is when they move out and become independent is a measure of your parenting skill. Setting rules and expectations for your teenager will help prepare them for that day.
What are good rules and rewards for teenagers? Why do we bother putting rules into place? Limits and guidelines during adolescence are an important part of getting the budding adult ready to leave home. During this preparation time, keeping focused on the end result (a successful adult) is important. When presenting and negotiating rules with your adolescent, begin by exploring the potential results of successfully following guidelines.
