16. Implementing rules Q: How do I implement rules with my adolescent? Mum: Where are you going? Daughter: I’m not sure. Mum: I need to know where you’re going before you leave. Daughter: None of my friends have to tell their parents where they’re going. Teens are adept at making their parents feel like they are the only weird ones who need to have rules. A family is a unit that thrives on structure and rules. Guidelines may be a better term than rules, which may sound too authoritarian. Whatever we call them, though, we all need guiding principles and rules to live by – no one more so than a teenager.
In a recent interview with Michael Grose, in which he spoke about some of his best advice on the subject of raising adolescents, he emphasised the ‘drawing of strength from other parents’. Children today are very highly connected to each other; parents are not. ‘You don’t parent well in isolation,’ he stresses. Grose encourages parents to connect through events at school and other organisations, and to speak to each other regarding children’s boundaries and behaviours. It would be liberating if we, too, could be a little more honest with each other.
Rules will vary depending on the values of the family and the type and age of the teenager. Knowing your teenager’s whereabouts is a basic requirement. The issues that usually require a set of guidelines are places where teens may and may not go, the time they should be back home (curfews), housework and homework. Other issues, such as honesty, compassion and kindness, are more accurately described as values. But these too become a family’s set of rules to live by. Since early childhood, my children have internalised honesty as a core family principle.
