Family Engagement Weekly Tip
Responsibility grows when teens feel empowered
You want your teen to take on more responsibility, in school and at home. Teens are more likely to be responsible if they feel they have some power to affect their own lives. Wherever you can, let your teen make decisions independently. Set a time frame, for example, for getting chores done, and let your teen decide when to do them within that time. Ask your student’s opinion when making decisions for the family, or hand over control of planning the next family celebration.
