Teens are prone to test their parents in every possible way. It’s part of their built- in and craving desire for independence!

Hi, I’m Mark Gregston… with Parenting Today’s Teens.

Every kid is gonna try and push the envelope in some way. So you, as a parent, need to be ready! Establish a clear and undeniable standard for what’s expected in your home. I call it a “Belief System for Discipline.” It’s all about positive training and reinforcement of dearly held convictions. And, of course, it includes consequences when rules are broken.

Having a belief system in your home let’s the whole family know about the “lines” that can’t be crossed. It’s a tool you need when your teen starts testing the boundaries!

And some day, it’ll lead your teen to establish similar beliefs of his or her own!
