Help with teenage consequences and privileges!?

Every good chore she does, give her a dollar. Every bad thing she does, take away her cell phone for a week. Everytime she talks back to you, stay silent and walk away, that should make her feel guilty about what she said. Well sometimes they don't but I am a teen so it does make me feel guilty. She is probably used to getting yelled at so scolds don't work. Just tell her that what she said really hurts and walk away. Don't talk to her until she says sorry and then forgive her. That's all I got. Good luck!!!

Consequences are really outdated, it should be more of a positive thing to motivate a teenager, not discourage. Using negative words like 'Dont do this, or you'll be punished by this' is negative talking, and gives her more of a reason to be even more out of control. Instead, try using positive words and mention rewards instead of consequences, as she is not a slave. How about a 'dollar' (if you're american, i'm not) for everytime she does something you feel needs rewarding? Sit her down and tell her some common things not to do, like swearing and sneaking out and focus more on what she will get if she does things right! It looks as if she has some pent up anger for some reason, so try talking to her and see if she will open up and tell you her troubles.

teenagers need rules and boundaries or they feel out of control. i've found my family doctor to be an excellent resource when I have parenting questions.

Teenagers need to know there are consequences that are strictly defined, but letting them help decide those consequences make them feel like there is something they're inputting into.

talk to the teen, find out what they think is appropriate but remember you're the parent

just ignore the bad things but really praise her and give lots of attention when she does good also give the girl some respect and trust if she knows you trust her you will gain so much more remember they all go through this teen stuff as long as you have taught her manners politeness and values in life she will come good in the end be a lovely girl

Ima 15 yr old girl too and when i misbehave my Mom takes my iPod and Phone away for 24 hrs because she knows thats what i love most :P hope this helps :)

take all the things she loves away for a week or until she behaves

Start by taking her cell phone first if she has one.

be strict!
