Consideration is the act of considering how your actions will affect others. It can be shown in many ways, such as when you think about the consequences of your actions before you do something. It also means considering the needs and feelings of people around you.
Consideration is a necessary behavior to practice for teenagers to get along with friends, family members, teachers, and other people in their social circle. When they consider how their actions affect others before they act, they are more likely to avoid embarrassing or hurting someone else.
Consideration also helps them gain respect from other people. For example, people who are kind and thoughtful often earn high regard from friends and peers.
Teaching your teens manners is very important. As your children grow older, they will be involved in many different social settings. Therefore, you would want to ensure that you have taught them the proper etiquette for each setting.
The following are some guidelines to help you teach your teenagers about consideration.
Teach your teenagers to be considerate of other people's feelings. One way to do this is by teaching them about other people's perspectives. For example, if they are running late for a school activity because you didn't wake them up in time, tell them how the teacher would feel if they were late because their parents weren't paying attention to what time it was.
Also, teach your teenagers what appropriate topics of conversation in certain situations are. For example, teaching them to avoid discussing politics or religion at a family gathering can save everyone from an awkward situation.
Please do not embarrass your teen when teaching them about good manners and consideration. If something goes wrong and you need to point out what they did wrong, handle it privately and calmly. Do not embarrass them in front of their friends or siblings. This will damage their self-esteem and make it less likely that they will listen to you when you correct them about anything else in the future.
