Teaching Teens Responsibility
Taking on more independence and responsibility is part of your adolescent's growth, and teaching the value of responsibility goes a long way in guiding them to becoming a responsible young adult.
Responsibility is being accountable for one's actions, whether good or bad. Taking on more independence and responsibility is part of your adolescent's growth, and teaching the value of responsibility goes a long way in guiding him or her to becoming a responsible young adult. Responsibility is not just about how the choices your teen makes affect them, but also how their choices and actions affect others. Giving your teen more responsibility throughout these high school years will set them up for success when they eventually leave the family home.
