How should i deal with my naughty teenage children?

Answer 1

when they go to school strip EVERYTHING from their room, including the clothes, including the stuff on the walls, EVERYTHING. Leave 7 sets of boring regular clothes.
Feed them very boring food.
Give them a few boring books.
let them live like that for 7 days (it may not take that long)

Tell them your job is provide food, clothing and shelter and not to be a doormat. Tell them get some respect and they can have their stuff back.

Answer 2

Naughty Teenager

Answer 3

Stop thinking of teenagers as children, the usual strategies that have been successful for years simply won't work any more. If you stick to punitive methods you will loose all respect and your advice be viewed with ridicule. Start with negotiation - but still make it clear that there will be a bottom line that cannot be crossed. Once you show that you are prepared to give a little they should be willing to start earning more freedom/spends/weekend drink etc. Good luck!

Answer 4

NAUGHTY OR NICE all i have to say is never let your children run you no matter how old they are they came from you you didnt come from them you brought em into this world and you can take em out just as easily!!!! They have to understand that.

Answer 5

Er define naughty?

Is naughty mugging, dealing crack and meth, robbing people taking part in drive bys, haging in a gang and being mean.


Or simply going up, becoming independant, and getting boy and girlfriends?

Answer 6

Oh boy. You got yourself a handfull. Here's my advice. 1. about the stealing - dont bring money for her to steal. Hide the money that is in the house: in the freezer, in a plant pot, in the couch, etc. Dont give her the oppurtunity to steal, and she wont. 2. about the not being able to do things for her, just stop doing them. Dont bathe her, dont dress her, dont clean her room for her. Tell the parents that you wont do these things for her because she is 10 and she needs to do them herself. Eventually she will do them - trust me, I know it can seem like she won't, but after a week or so, she will. 3. About the whole naked thing, she is 10, she is likely to want to experiance things like masturbation, touching herself, because it's new and it feels good. When she starts to involve her brother in these things, tell HIM to walk away and go outside or in the bathroom, and basically just get away from her. Let her parents know of these things so they aren't surprised if she complains or something. 4. About her acting like she was making love, unfortunately, kids these days know about sex younger than they should, just tell her that if she keeps acting like that then she'll attract the wrong kind of people. If she continues, simply ignore her, she is trying to get a reaction out of you and try things with her body, like I said in number 3, this is new to her. 5. If the parents aren't doing anything to stop this behavior i would call their doctor, a counselor, teacher, trusted family friend, etc. to see if they can either talk some sense into either the parents or the child. Good luck, please let me know how it turns out!

Answer 7

Treat them like adults..which means they will have to take responsibility for their actions.
Give one warning, make the rules very clear and stick to your rules! Do not bend them or change them. Give clear idea of how, why and when punishment will happen and very strictly stick to it.
I make it very clear for my daughter so there is no misunderstanding. She knows that when i say something I mean it and I do it. However we also have great fun going out to the movies, giggling about anything and everything and talking.

Answer 8

Kids have to understand that what they do, is nothing compared to the consequences of their actions, Like with my daughter she's punished from all activities, I know it hurts. but sending them away will only teach them new tricks. Think about how many troubled kids are already in those camps.

Answer 9

it depends on what they are doing, i have a teenager who is a nightmare at times, i have strict behaviour groung rules, no foul language under our roof, bedroom will be tidy or the floor contents will go in binbag, i need to know where he is, and what time to expect him back, its about respect for others, if he goes off rails, laptop or mobile get confiscated for a while,.only talk when you have both calmed down, shouting doesnt help

Answer 10

I'm 13 and I have a 16 year old brother and for punishments my mom grounds us from friends, computer, tv, phone, the whole 9 yards.
