Develop Morality During the Teen Years

If you started early shaping your child’s morality, the teen years are the perfect time to develop and deepen those values. This works best when you respectfully and thoughtfully engage with your teen. Teens tend to reject demands. By demanding that teens follow your views, you may turn something you care about into a doorway to rebellion. Let your teen think through their values by first helping them understand why you do the things you do. Then listen to them as they explain what they care about and why. They values they hold dear  will guide them throughout life.
