Lesson Overview

8.7 – Respecting Teenagers’ Growing Autonomy: Teens crave independence yet still need guidance. Speak to them with the respect you’d offer another adult. Listen without interrupting or jumping to advice. Ask permission before offering feedback when possible. Keep tone calm, even when opinions differ. Encourage responsible decision-making through reflection. Respect boundaries while maintaining open connection. Praise honesty and maturity in communication. When conflict arises, focus on understanding, not control. Respecting autonomy builds mutual trust and prepares them for adulthood.
