ask what they want and listen to the teens when they talk


explain WHY you won't let them do certain things and if you can't think of a reason - you might be the one being unreasonable so try to compromise a little





make clear your expectations, boundaries and rules





explain what you plan to do if rules are broken and follow it through





stay calm all the time and don't rise to raised voices





give some trust and responsibility. if they can accept it and be responsible then give them some more. (little by little)


If they can't then try again later.





e.g. curfew 10pm and they stick to it without being late for a month, increase it by 10 mins. If they are 5 mins late, subtract that from curfew for a month





let them do chores for spending money - do not let them have anything extra unless they are prepared to work for it.





let them get a job. try to teach them life skills like saving up.





they are adults in training and can think for themselves enough to get by - they will make mistakes but try to guide them, give them goals, help them to be great people - don't just scream and shout at each other. what will that teach them?What advice would you give to a family living with teen agers?
ADVICE 4 THEM:


Teenagers are going to be hard to handle. You have to keep a watchful eye out because they are in the state when they get bad attitudes and their personality starts changing. It's normal for them to do this. Just watch over them carefully because being a teenager is one of the hardest part in your children's lives for you to handle.
