When parenting your teen becomes a challenge, here are a few more tips to remember:

  • Think encouragement, not bribes and rewards.
  • Discipline -- don’t punish. Set reasonable consequences.
  • Influence and empower.
  • Never give up.

Remember your purpose as a parent is to have your teen develop skills, character, courage, self-esteem, and responsibilities.

A final tip: provide unconditional love, in good times and in bad.
