Privileges

Privileges like cell phones, allowances and the use of a family car are just that – privileges – but teens sometimes need to be reminded of that.

Outside of education, clothing, food and protection, everything else given your teen is a privilege. When a self-centered teenager forgets that, and wreaks havoc in the family, a parent needs to remind them that along with privileges come responsibilities, like helping around the house, being respectful to each other, and following the family rules.

I’m thankful in a way that kids have so many privileges today. Because it gives parents plenty of things to put on the shelf for a time to show their teenager that privileges can be lost through irresponsibility.
