How to Influence Teens:Here's the big idea in 5 Minutes:We can NOT control teens. Not their decisions,not their actions, not their beliefs about themselves or others. As caring adults we only have one option: INFLUENCE CONTROL places the responsibility on us. INFLUENCE places the responsibility on the teen. So how do I influence?1. Expect the best and prepare for the worst You need to decide how you will deal with trouble BEFORE it happens. Trust me, you're going to be emotional and so you need to decide in advance.2. Talk about your own mistakes This is a big key in getting teens to open up to you. Talk about a recent time you were humiliated, embarrassed or flat out failed. These are things that teens deal with on a daily basis. Let them know their not weird or broken-- but struggle is a normal part of life. 3. Focus on questions and NOT statements It's easy to get on our soapboxes and just go off. Questions lead to critical thinking. A crucial skill for every teen.
