Each January, I encourage parents to consider a challenge with their adolescents that serves to motivate change within themselves or within the family system in the New Year.
Rather than resolutions that often amount to failed promises, consider forming intentions or creating affirmations for the New Year. Then involve your adolescent in some sort of system to monitor progress towards achieving success.
