Teenagers Moral Behavior

Teenagers Moral Behavior

• By the time your children are teenagers you expect them to know right from wrong. But this is a time when they are still questioning everything - sometimes this means you!
• Young people need to:
  • feel competent
  • do things which interest them
  • know their strengths
  • do what you expect of them
  • have control - to wait, calm down when angry
  • make decisions.
• They should care and be able to:
  • accept other people as they are
  • recognise and understand their own and other people's feelings
  • talk about feelings.
• They need to understand the consequences of behaviour and to know:
  • your expectations
  • what will happen in this event based on what happened last time.
• They will learn these things by talking about:
  • what they do and what others do
  • what you do, what you think and feel
  • what they think and feel and why.
