June 15, 2007, Newsletter Issue #187: Comparing


1

Tip of the Week

A common mistake made by parents of an adolescent is to compare the teenager with a sibling or another teenager. For example, "Why can you not be more like your brother, John? He never did this when he was your age." Although comparisons seem harmless, may be thought of as constructive criticism, and are intended to point out the obvious, they most likely come across as a "point down" to the teen. Therefore, if the teen feels put down, the comparison will do nothing to improve his or her behavior. Instead of comparing your adolescent to another, emphasize the strengths, talents, and individuality of the teen instead.
