The reason a parent needs a behavior contract is a way for them to set up a system of consequences and rewards for good behavior. Another thing parents can do is have the whole family sit down and help write the contract so they are involved in the process. If you have a troubled teen they will most likely negatively influence your younger children.

In creating and modifying the contract you should sit down at the kitchen table with your teen with no distractions like T.V or the radio. Let your teenage son or daughter know that this contract should be held as any other legal type of document. If they do not take it seriously then they will probably not follow it. Below is a list of things to consider when constructing the contract.

• The parent teen contract should be specific in what both parties want


• Make sure all legal guardians and parents are there when you make it


• Have the teen and adult sign it at the end


• Call your other kids into the room and participate in the process

An example of what to put on the contract could include something like this. If the teen breaks curfew then a consequence will be no cell phone for two days. The contract needs to be tailored to the specific problems your teen is facing at the moment. If they are not doing their chores then be sure you include it in the contract. The best part about behavior contracts is setting up positive rewards for good behavior so your teen will WANT to follow it. If they come home on time for a whole week, extended their curfew by an hour on the weekends. Your teen will probably come up with the rewards they really want.

If your teenage daughter or son is giving you problems and this contract doesn't work, you may want to place them in a specialized boarding school that focuses on changing their behavior. Call the number at the top of the screen and talk to one of our agents today.
