When a Spicy teen blows past curfew and sneaks friends in until 5AM, punishment feels like the answer, whether that's taking their phone or piling on more rules.
None of it works the way we hope.
A missed curfew is just a brain that hasn't learned to plan yet. So punishment isn't the answer.
Because in the teen years, we need to be as connected to them as possible.
Why? We get fired from the 'manager' role we're used to having as parents.
