Should you support your teen in college if he’s still using? Or let your daughter go to prom when she’s still breaking curfew?

You want to support your teen in healthy behaviors but how do you go about that when they’re still showing maladaptive behaviors? You don’t want to take away activities that have a positive, healthy impact on your teen but at the same time don’t want to ‘reward’ them while they’re still breaking your home agreement, right?

In this episode, Seth and I discuss how you can reinforce a boundary that is a natural consequence of the maladaptive behavior instead of taking away something that’s actually beneficial to your struggling teen. Let’s dive in!

In this episode on supporting your struggling teen in healthy endeavors while they still have maladaptive behaviors, we discuss:

• How can you support your teen in healthy endeavors when they’re still showing maladaptive behavior like using substances, skipping school, or breaking curfew?;
• Reinforcing a boundary that is a natural consequence regarding the unhealthy behavior;
• Following through on our boundaries without emotionally consequencing;
• And more!
