1๏ธโฃ. ๐๐๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ. Parents and teen boys can set boundaries/rules that both agree on. The rules are based on shared values about staying safe and keeping harmony in the family.โฃ

2๏ธโฃ. ๐ช๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง. Furthermore, families might consider drafting a written agreement. Therefore, the guidelines and boundaries are clear to everyone.โฃ
โฃ
3๏ธโฃ. ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฌ. Parents and sons agree on age-appropriate consequences that will go into effect if the rules are broken. For example, a consequence might be loss of car privileges or an earlier curfew. โฃ

4๏ธโฃ. ๐๐ง๐ฏ๐จ๐ค๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง. The teens help make a situation better after violating the shared contract. For example, if they get a speeding ticket, they pay it on their own. Or they take steps to repair a relationship with a sibling after a fight.โฃ
โฃ
5๏ธโฃ. ๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ก๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ. This is never the best approach for dealing with your teenagers, boy or girl. In fact, punishment can make things worse. Teenage boys may feel rejected and resentful. Hence, they may withdraw further from their parents.โฃ

Parents, how do you like to handle your boys? ๐คโฃ
