   How to Help a Teenager Make Good Decisions

    Habitually poor decision making is actually common in teenagers. Naturally, such a

habit makes parent-teen cooperation difficult, especially when a parent wants his teen to

do what a " responsible adolescent" would do. A poor decision-making teenager can never

run away from his responsibilities.  36   

    ●  Distinguish real problems from acts of pure "teenagerism". Teens often make poor

decisions simply because they don-t have the experiences. By making small and harmless

mistakes, like a recently- developed habit of careless consuming,  a teen learns good

decision-making skills on his own via self-correction.__37  Don't think the teen is making

bad decisions just to challenge you.  It's more likely it is out of a real inability to determine

what's best for him.

    ●    38  Tell your teen you understand his decisions while simply emphasizing that you

don't have to agree with his decisions or treat his views as valid. By not judging his

opinions, tastes or style, you are opening the road for better communication and problem

solving opportunities.

    -  Set clear expectations.  39  For example, if your teen refuses to study for his math

final because "math is pointless," explain that you expect him to perform well in school,

even in the "pointless" classes.  Because you've already tolerated his opinion without trying

to change his viewpoint, you two can easily agree that math isn't so useful, yet avoid

saying "Let's just give up on math, then.””

    ●  Find a middle ground. Trade insignificant freedoms, such as clothing style for the

promise that he'll live up to academic and family responsibilities. _40_   Not only does giving

up a bit of control solve many conflicts, but the extra freedom you give him can also

improve his decision-making.

    A.  Show tolerance.

    B.  Learn to solve problems.

    C.  Point out your expectations and his responsibilities.

    D.  If your teen could realize it, allow him to be himself.

    E.  A responsible adolescent must have role models to learn from.

    F.  Therefore, it’s important to guide them with problem-solving strategies.

    G.  Next time, he'll be more likely to think twice before making his buying decision.
