A teenager is able to think abstractly and can be led to think critically and solve problems.At this level of emotional development an adolescent can take responsibility for his or her own actions and is beginning to internalize a personal set of values.Therefore,guiding them,but being an open communicator,is appropriate per their development.Adolescence is a time of great questioning,and this should not be discouraged.
