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!
