Rights and Privileges for Better Boundaries

26m · IMPACT: Parenting with Perspective · 25 Apr 11:00

In this podcast, we're tackling the difference between rights and privileges. It's a biggie, especially since many teens (and adults!) are a bit fuzzy on the distinction.

I'll share insights from my own family life, like how dinner together is non-negotiable (yep, no skipping meals!), but dessert? That's a privilege. And let's talk about earning privileges—like staying out late with friends, which my teens have to work for by being responsible.

But sometimes, rights can turn into privileges, like when we had a foster child needing extra support.

The key? Open, empowering conversations with your teen. Ask them their thoughts on rights versus privileges and let them help set boundaries.

So get ready to dive into this important—and dare I say, fun?—topic with your teen. It's not just necessary, it's downright awesome!

My is Teen Viewing Porn. Now What?

When it comes to discovering your teen viewing pornography, approach the situation with humor and confidence rather than panic.

Focus on open dialogue and empowerment rather than fear. Encourage your teen to separate pornography from solo sexual activity, potentially breaking the habit.

Above all, provide support without coercion, respecting your teen's autonomy and readiness for help, while setting boundaries and offering resources in a supportive manner.
