![]() ![]() ![]() Parents who are encouraging their teen's autonomy (in certain spheres) are usually rewarded with more honesty in other spheres. The science says it's not just about having rules and enforcing them - you must do some of that, but in other domains of their life you must 1) trust them with responsibility, and 2) do everythign you can to make it clear you are encouraging them to take good risks, get out in the world, and attempt to be an adult. Sounds like the teen you speak of has developed a habit. Thanks, re: reading our book twice! (ashley and I are equal partners in this).įrom your examples (itouch, earbuds, 1:30 am) it sounds like you're talking about a teen, and a teen has plenty of memory/working memory, and at that age it's not at all about cognitive ability (that's only relevant around age 2 to 4 yrs old). ![]()
