 Responsible Teens
Gary Direnfeld, MSW,RSW writes in “News for Parents.org” that social science research demonstrates that parents actually matter most in teens lives. It is the degree to which mom and dad actually monitors the teen’s behavior that is a decisive factor in reducing the risk of pregnancy as well as drug, alcohol, and cigarette use in their teen.
Successful parenting includes:
1. Parental monitoring. Family members should show mutual respect as well as family rules that govern behavior.
2. Parents should approach the issue of monitoring from a point of concern, guidance and respect.
3. Start when your kids are young. Demonstrate that family members stay in touch and show concern for each other always.
Teens develop self-esteem as a result of their parent’s involvement in their lives. Parental monitoring isn’t about surveillance, it’s about caring.
That’s a good message to any teen!
Wise Parenting knows how to give guidance while keeping responsibility for the problem squarely on their teens shoulders.
Let us work with you to build the tools, resources and support you need as your teen transitions to adulthood.
