Teaching Teens Integrity

Teens are starting with a blank slate when it comes to right and wrong, good and bad, honest and dishonest. What if you could help your teen find their own inner compass? Your teen is going to question everything and challenge every rule. This is normal teenage behavior. They have to throw out every lesson we taught them and try them back on to see what fits. Let's stop fighting their natural, normal developmental process and while adding a few helpful characteristics. Integrity teaches teens to follow their own sense of right and wrong AND to take responsibility for the consequences. Gentle guidance and setting a real life example can help them see the benefits of learning to live life by their own compass of honesty and consistency. I'm not claiming it's easy but it is possible and it might just save you from many future battles with your teen.
