Can you put your teenage son on the house deed?
You should seek the advice of an attorney. If your son is eighteen years old there is no legal reason not to add his name to the title. However, you may want to think about it… and get fully informed before you make the transfer. Teenagers are more likely to have bad car accidents that result in a lot of damage. If your teenage son is found to be at fault in an accident resulting in damages he would have a valuable asset for a creditor to seize: your home. It may disqualify him for student aid if he owns a valuable asset. He would need to report it on his financial aid form as an asset. You should also understand that he would own the home or an interest in it and may not want to give it back if that is your plan at some future date. You should be fully informed of the consequences before making the transfer. (MORE)

Types of Discipline That Work for Teenagers
There are many different parenting methods used today. However, there are many misconceptions about how to properly discipline teenagers. There are really only a few ways a te…enager can be disciplined that will actually work. Punishment is always a way to grab a teen's attention, but just that will not fully allow teenagers to understand the rules and why they are being punished. Punishment is a method that is often used to discipline teenagers. Taking away a teen's car or video game console is a good way to get their attention, but does not necessarily help them understand why their actions were wrong. Talking to them about it and taking away what they enjoy works well together. With this method teens will always think it is too harsh, but it gives them time to think about the reason they have been punished. However, without them understanding the reason, the teen will repeat whatever behavior which caused them to be punished. Therefore, it is very important that you also tell them why they are punished. Simply yelling and taking possessions away without any explanation can make a teen resent a parent and the behavior can worsen. The downside to this type of punishment is when the length is too long or the item taken away is too severe for the behavior. In those cases this punishment can be ineffective.There are many parents who will argue with their teenagers or smack them when they get out of line. Teenagers may be very impulsive, but they are intelligent. When there is a problem and an argument a parent will often allow a discussion to turn into yelling. Arguing will lead nowhere with a teenager because they always believe they are right. Parents often think they are right as well and vent their frustration by yelling or losing their temper. It is a way to assert authority, but with no given reason. Teenagers expect the same courtesy their parents do. Making the teen apologize for whatever the behavior is can be effective. If you make a teenager write a letter of apology every time they do something wrong (not including minor things such as not doing chores) then they will get the message that it will not be tolerated. This method is one that is rather passive, but the concept is that it takes time away from what the teen wants to do. Teenagers like to do a variety of different activities and taking time away from that by making them write an in-depth apology letter can change their behavior so they will no longer have to deal with the agony of writing an apology every time they do something wrong. One of the better ways to discipline a teenager is to discuss the problem with them. If they understand how their actions affect others and how that in turns make them look, their behavior can improve.With this method it is better to not judge the teen or have a harsh tone. The key is to have a tone that is both caring and stern. You must maintain a degree of understanding while still maintaining authority. Manual labor can often be a very useful method for disciplining teenagers. For example, if a teenager has no chores in the house and a punishment for breaking the rules is to make them clean the entire house, they will try to change their behavior in order to get out doing that again. This method is a two-fold approach. It is both a punishment and what a teenager considers a waste of time. It also teaches them that there are other consequences besides having something taken away or being yelled at. This approach can help them understand the value of hard work as well because if they know they have to do a thorough job or they will have to do it again they will work harder the first time to get it done right.There are differences in spanking a teenager and hitting a teenager. Beating a teenager can scar them for a long time. Spanking is a method that is better used on younger children, if at all. Spanking a teenager is relatively ineffective compared to discussing the problem, but can cause them understand the severity of what they have done. This method is something that should only be used if something serious has happened and no other method works. There has to be a pattern of the action. There are many ways parents can choose to discipline to their teenagers. Often, the best method is to talk to your child and make sure they understand what they have done. Taking away something they enjoy that is not a necessity also works most of the time. Physical discipline rarely works with teens, and can often cross the line of physical abuse. Many parents can easily get mad at their children and let their temper get the best of them. Do not allow anger to cloud your judgment as a parent. You should always talk to your children first. Having an honest discussion can do a lot to change the behavior of a teenager. They seek attention like younger children, but should be expected to act more mature. (MORE)

Best Ways to Discipline Teenagers
Bad or inappropriate behavior needs to be changed into socially acceptable behavior; that is one of the roles of being a parent. Effective strategies for disciplining a teenag…er need to be thought through and used consistently. Spending time to think things through in advance is one key to successful teenage discipline. Do not leave it until something has gone wrong and tempers are frayed. A clearly understood set of rules and consequences is going to help discipline a teenager more than arguments and fights.Clear and simple rules will always be most effective. If they do not appear to be working, sit down with your teenager and review them. Find out from your child what their understanding of the rules is. Do they interpret the rules differently than you? If they do, correct the misunderstanding and rewrite the rule so that it is clear moving forward. Moments like this are also a good time to decide if old rules are still needed.Backchat has the potential to be a particularly explosive situation to deal with. A few seconds taken out before responding sharply can give you the chance to plan what to say and to stop the situation from escalating. The best rule is to focus on the original problem. Backchat is often used as a means to divert attention. Simply restate your position calmly and clearly and remember to remind your errant teenager of the consequences of his or her behavior. Once the situation has been resolved, you can then address the backchat problem using phrases that acknowledge that a resolution has been made and remind the teenager that backchat does not help the situation.Spoken conversations are so often interpreted by different people in different ways. People have different recollections that are usually formed by their own agendas. It is important to discuss rules; your child needs to feel that they are their rules. If they own the rules, you will need to police them less but it is important that, once you have discussed the rules, they are written down. Clearly written, simple rules make it easy to spell out what is required so that everybody understands what is expected of them. If the rules appear not to be working, review them with your teenager and this time agree about the consequences of breaking the rules.If there is a chink in your armor, a teenager will find it. You need to be firm and consistent about how you apply rules and most importantly the consequences for breaking them. Be careful about what consequences you expect when a rule is broken. If a punishment is too severe, or if it bears no relation to the original rule, breaking it becomes meaningless and it threatens all the other rules in the rulebook. If it is too slight, it is easy to decide that it does not matter. Being firm and consistent, especially regarding consequences, is probably the most important aspect of disciplining teenagers. They have to believe that you mean what you say and this is only achieved by you being firm and consistent.Practice what you preach, lead by example, call it what you will; there's no getting away from the fact that it is almost impossible to impose something on your teenagers if you are doing the same thing yourself. A good example is smoking. No one would want their teenagers to smoke and parents all use a variety of techniques to encourage them to avoid cigarettes. No matter how compelling that reasoning is, in a teenager's mind it pales into insignificance if their parents are themselves smoking. Believe it or not, your teenagers use you as role models and that is just what you need to be.Despite what they may think, teenagers like their parents to be interested in what is going on in their lives. The secret is to have the right strategies for being interested. There is no need to listen in on phone conversations; anyone would be upset at that sort of behavior. Make being involved, more positive. Family mealtimes are the best way of checking in together. Use this time to share experiences. A meal in the evening together is the perfect way to air successes, disappointments, and worries. If you do not have a family mealtime, introduce the habit as soon as possible. It is not too late, even if they are teenagers. You will be able to pick up on all sorts of things by creating this simple daily family get together.Teenagers are complicated. They are angst filled with trouble waiting to surface at every turn. The best way to discipline teenagers is to provide them with a simple set of clear boundaries. Should those boundaries not be enough, some work may be necessary to agree upon the consequences of overstepping those boundaries. When boundaries are overstepped, it is easy to apply the discipline that you and your teenager have agreed upon in advance.Always look out for the opportunity to praise. It is far too easy to become a parent who is constantly sanctioning. This often happens because teenagers are continually pushing boundaries and testing new rules. It is all part of a teenager's job description. If you are constantly applying sanctions, your discipline can become part of the problem. Force yourself to look for the positive to counterbalance the discipline. Look for real examples of good behavior and reward it in the right way. It does not have to be with money or with gifts, simple praise is far more powerful than many parents realize and is all too often forgotten against the background of teenage boundary testing. (MORE)
Establishing Appropriate Curfew Times for Your Teenager
Establishing appropriate curfew times for your teenager is easy, if you negotiate a time which is appropriate for multiple activities. Do not set a curfew which is a one size …fits all scenario. Consider any special events like prom or birthday parties that may come along. Also, think about yourself and how late you want to stay up to wait for them. Talk with your teenager ahead of time, so they understand how the curfew works and any punishments which may come from non-compliance. Read on for more information on how to create appropriate curfews for teenagers in your family. Set an appropriate curfew for your teenager. This is what is known as a general curfew and pertains to any normal activities that your teen might want to be involved in. This type of curfew helps your teen to recognize and maintain boundaries and limits. It should be consistent, and you should know where your teenager is at all times. You should explain to your teenager that his or her curfew may be extended for special occasions. You should not set a different curfew every time they want to go out. This is why you have a general curfew. Special events such as a school dance or party would be considered a special event. In these types of situations, you should get the details about the event in order to change the curfew accordingly.You should think about yourself when setting a general curfew. If you want to go to bed at a certain time, then set the curfew an hour before that time. Don't let your teenager give you a guilt trip about setting the curfews earlier than he or she wants. Allowing teenagers to leave the house without establishing a curfew for them is a bad habit that is not easy to break once it has been developed. You should always set a general curfew and know where your teenagers are at all times. Letting them leave without a time to be home and not knowing where they are is dangerous practice for you and your teenagers. If something were to happen and your child did not make it home, you would have no idea where to look for them. Avoid the catastrophe by talking with your child before he or she leaves home for the day or evening. You should make your teenager aware that they are not allowed to change plans at the very last minute. Teenagers must change their plans with plenty of time for you to find out all of the details and so that you can consider extending their curfews. If they try to change plans at the spur of the moment, you should let them know they will not be allowed to go out or their curfews won't change, regardless of how late the party will go on. Don't let your teenager make you think that everyone else is staying out until midnight or everyone else does not have a curfew. You should do your own research and talk to other parents to see what the normal scenario is with curfews for teenagers. It is a difficult age to handle for most parents; therefore, if you can work with other parents to determine reasonable times for curfews, you will be better off when countering arguments given by your teenager. Setting curfews for teenagers may bring back memories from your childhood that you don't necessarily want to remember. However, don't let the way your parents treated you affect the way you discipline your child. Don't let your memories hamper your stance on how much you need to enforce the curfew. You should never allow your teenager to leave and tell you that he or she will see you later. You should always give your teenager a set time to be home and set punishments if they do not make it home in time for curfews. When setting a curfew for your teenager, let them know right off the bat what the consequences will be for missing the curfew. Consider a grace period and what type of punishment comes with being late. Also consider what will happen if tardiness becomes a regular problem or your teenager misses curfew repeatedly. (MORE)
Chore Charts: Effective for Learning Time Management Skills
We all hate doing the washing, vacuuming, tidying up, or dusting, but it's all part of day-to-day life. However, at what point do you start to encourage your child to do some …chores? Are they too young at two? Or, is four a better age? By the time they have reached their teenage years, they should be actively participating in the household chores. However, there needs to be some kind of regimen for them to follow so that what needs to get done gets done. You can do this by creating a chores chart for teenagers to follow. It will show them what needs to be done, what is expected of them, and even give them a sense of accomplishment as they cross each item off the list.Having a chores chart for teenagers is a highly effective way of encouraging youngsters to help out around the house and to encourage them to develop additional skills as well. By getting children to do chores, you are helping to prepare them for later life. You will also be encouraging independence and maturity as they will begin to understand how to take care of themselves and to keep things clean.Encouraging your children to do chores will also teach your children to have respect for their things and the home they live in. It will also encourage responsibility and organization as they are required to follow routines and schedules. While this will more likely work for younger children, teenagers can benefit from this structure as well.While this is a great idea, parents have to set appropriate chores suited to age and ability. If you choose to set chores for your teenager as well, you have to set an appropriate amount of chores to ensure that their chores do not interfere with their studies. It is very important to make sure your teenager is taking on some responsibility around the house, especially as teenagers begin to grow into adulthood. They will need to take on responsibility to ensure they are fully capable of looking after themselves after leaving home.While chore charts are considered a good way to encourage responsibility and independence, you may have to tread carefully. Teenagers will often consider a chore charts as something designed for younger children and will refuse to do any chores because of this. For teenagers, setting specific chores and rewarding them with extended curfews, snacks, or pocket money can be very effective.Chore charts can also encourage greed and selfishness in teenagers as they may only do them in order to get something in return. This will not help them in later life because once you become an adult, no one will be there to reward them when they clean their own home. Teenagers need to learn to do it because they have to, not to get something in return. This could result in arguments and tantrums from your teenager because they may see it as "unfair" not to get paid or certain privileges extended for their services.It can also encourage greed in teenagers as they may only do half a job to try and get some kind of reward in return. Parents need to watch how their children are reacting to taking on certain responsibilities and to discourage any behavior that could later turn into selfishness or greed.teenagers may also use their list of chores as the reason why they were not able to complete their studies in a timely manner. Parents should ensure that their teenagers complete all of their homework and study assignments either before starting their chores or immediately after finishing their chores. Their time usage should be monitored to make sure that they use it wisely so that their grades don't suffer as a result.Creating a chores chart for teenagers can be a very good idea, as long as your teens don't feel they are being treated like children. While a chores chart used improperly can increase undesirable traits in a teen's personality, it is up to the parents to ensure they are doing things correctly and put a stop to any budding greed and selfishness.Women do approximately 90 minutes more housework than men do per day. This could be due to how children are taught to do chores when growing up, or because of lingering sexist views that women should do the cleaning while men go out to work. (MORE)

Chore Ideas for Teenagers
Teenagers are at an age where they begin to seek more independence from their parents. They want to be out of the house more. They are more involved in school and other activi…ties. Often, teenagers are very irresponsible with how they spend their time. A list of chores can be a way to teach a teenager about the importance of a routine. Chores are a good idea because they will help to teach teenagers how to clean up after themselves in a much more efficient way. They will also learn just what it takes to run a home, too. There are practically a million different chores you can have a teenager do. One of the most common is cutting the grass. This chore is something that will teach them the importance of yard maintenance and will help them physically. Cutting grass can be one of the harder chores depending on the size of the yard and the weather, but generally this is something that only has to be once every two weeks. This type of yard work will allow the teenager to understand the meaning of hard work and precision. They will be trusted with the responsibility to make the yard look as neat as possible. A teenager may complain about this chore, but in a way it shows them that you can trust them with important tasks. Washing the dishes is a classic chore that many teenagers have to perform. Making the teenager clean up his or her own dishes when they are finished teaches the teenager the importance of a clean environment. It also teaches them not to procrastinate when doing the dishes because as they pile up they become harder to deal with. This lesson is valuable because it can be applied in other areas of life. Procrastination is never a good thing, but if a teenager is shown what can happen with a small task like dishes they can understand the importance of not letting things slide. Like cutting the grass, other yard work chores can teach a strong work ethic. It can also reinforce the significance of paying attention to details. In the fall, raking is a good option because it is a relatively low energy chore. Other yard work such as pulling weeds, trimming trees, and trimming bushes can also be very practical and a good learning experience. The key element of these types of chores though is to make sure the teenager understands how to do them properly. You will need to instruct them on what is expected and how to accomplish the chore. Washing clothes is another good chore to teach teenagers responsibility. It also gives them another measure of independence. Having them help with washing the clothes and folding them will teach them that everything has to be cleaned, and it all takes time. This is important because it can change the way a teenager thinks about clothes. It can also help them understand the proper ways to wash clothes. Inevitably, everyone has to wash their own clothes and having practical experience will make the process easier for them when they go off to college or become independent. Washing cars can be made fun, but it is a chore that is both practical and economical. Teaching a teenager how to wash a car properly and then allowing them to do it also gives them a greater respect for the vehicles. This is important because it teaches that you should have pride in what you own. That pride is something that can create a very productive, happy person. That is not to say that washing a car will make a teenager happy, but it will allow them to see the value of their own hard work. Cars washed at home properly saves money and time. Walking family pets is something many teenagers already do, but making it a daily chore also gives them another set routine to perform each day. It is also practical in the sense they are actually getting exercise as well. That is important because in today's society there are many children with obesity problems simply because they are not active at all. Walking pets also allows a teenager to bond with the pet. It offers some time while walking to think or listen to music. There are many different chore ideas you can give your teen to do. They will complain about doing them, but in time they will understand it is a necessity in life. Chores are a part of life that even teens need to acknowledge. Having a set list of chores can teach a strong work ethic, instill pride in accomplishments, and instill a sense of co-responsibility within the family for teenagers. Even though chores can be something to learn from, there are limits on what teenagers feel they can do. Giving any teen too many chores can actually make a situation worse. Instead of thoroughly going through and doing the chores, they will rush to get them all done and likely do none of them well. Start with the easiest chores and slowly add others. (MORE)
