Even Though You Are A Parent, You Have Rights. Be concerned with your own rights.
You Have A Right To A Night’s Sleep Without ·
Worrying where your teenager is. ·
Being awakened by your teenager
coming in drunk, stoned, etc. ·
Phone emergencies from police,
hospitals, stranded teenagers.
You Have The Right To: · Expect
cooperation and courtesy in your home. ·
Live in a clean house. · Expect responsible
behavior from your children in school. · Stop
paying others’ fines. · Stop “helping”
your teenager and start taking care of yourself. ·
Make changes in your behavior that your teenager does not like.
You Have The Right Not To Be Treated Badly or Inconsiderately By Your Teenager. Loving your child is no excuse
for accepting rude, violent, inconsiderate behavior. Help your teenager learn about your rights.
If You Do Not Make Sure That
Your Rights Are Respected, You Cannot Expect Others, Even Your
Children, To Respect Your Rights.
If You Have: · Relaxed for a moment · Changed some of your Responses · Recognized your own rights
Then You Are On The Road To Making Real Changes In Your Life And To Ending Your Crisis.
