2 MUTUAL RESPET AND BOUNDARIES Whether you’re a parent or you are a teen, you likely know that teens will act disrespectfully sometimes. The best way to teach a teen to respect you is to model the behaviour you want. Sometimes teenagers need to see respect in action to know how to act the same way. Additionally, working with your teen to set boundaries and rules is an important part of teaching them respect. When your teen shows disrespect, call out the behaviour, ask them what they could do differently next time, and give a consequence, if necessary.
