• Promotion
• Correction
• Justification

counsel of God is always good and better, and your example is just great! By giving their children a difficult message and hard, should begin with a statement of what they do well. Can not be all rotten and start with something good can help teenagers hear what they have to say.
Provide correction, but also explain why it should change, as they say they can change. “Because I said” do not go with adolescents as it does with young children. Yes, the behavior has to change, but when you explain the details that can help them to reason the situation as an adult. You can not reason as an adult now, but hear your motivation can help them when they grow up. As adults, they will be better able to think through different situations, as they have heard your reasons and motivation can be applied to situations that may arise.
