Jeremy explains some of the reasons that go into a parents decision making process when determining a curfew.  Including how our brain works when we are tired, who we are with, and what we are doin.   Above all communication and respect is going to help guide the conversation in a way both parents and teens can be satisfied.

    Episode 23| Consequences. How to set appropriate consequences for your teens.

    Consequences can be hard to navigate as a parent of teens, whether you are deciding what is an appropriate consequence for your teen or you're worried how they will react.  Sometimes setting a consequence feels like a punishment to us as the parent as we then have to deal with the outcome, but overtime setting boundaries and consequences will teach your teen valuable lessons to be successful in life.   If you are looking for additional resources how to discipline to match the behavior, we love the book Parenting Teens With Love and Logic by Foster Cline M.D. and Jim Fay.  In the book the idea of natural consequences is discussed often.  A natural consequence is simply what naturally occurs as an outcome from the behavior.  Sometimes natural consequences are enough for a teen to learn a lesson, but sometimes a further consequence by the parent needs to be set to help them learn and grow.   Listen and let us know your thoughts on consequences. @mindthegap.welisten
