Ugh. You just found out that your son has done something really bad. The kind of bad that makes you want to deny you know him.
Sometimes your son will mess up. But it’s a moment in time. Your son isn’t doomed to be a failure or grow up to be a terrible person. All of the reasons you love them are still right there alongside whatever motivated made him do this thing you’re now dealing with.
And just like you, his feelings could be so jumbled together that it’s hard for him to sort them all out. He could be embarrassed, angry that he got caught, ashamed, in denial, or paranoid that everyone is talking behind his back or that this one mistake will forever damage his future.
Let’s begin with the words we use to approach the problem. To punish comes from the Latin word for “pain.”
As tempting as it can be to think about what will “hurt” and “get through that thick head”—we have to focus our response with the concept of “discipline,” which means “to teach.”
We want our children to realize that while everyone makes mistakes, even really big ones, there is a way back. If they face the consequences with integrity and reflect on what they did, they will be a stronger person for the experience and you will be proud of them
When disciplining children (either my own or my students), I frame my response in this way:
1. Tell them exactly what they did that was a problem.
2. Tell them why the specific actions they did are against your values.
3. Tell them specifically what privilege will be taken away and for how long (which requires that you know the child well enough to know which privilege means the most to them).
4. Give them a “way back”—i.e., a way to make amends that will make them and you proud.
I went right to the source—teenage boys—to find out which responses from parents are not helpful. Here are some responses boys advise avoiding:
Boys can be masters of looking like they don’t care about any discipline or punishment we give them. With parents, they shrug and tell us they don’t care. That doesn’t mean our words don’t impact them—for better or worse.
Here’s what boys say is more effective:
The most pointless thing is when they ground you. When my mom sends me to my room, I don’t really care. I’m a musician, so I can always find something else to do. The most effective punishment for parents is when they take everything away from you. My mom once took my phone, my Internet, Xbox, guitars, pretty much everything. She did that so I would do this list of chores she had. It worked. –Landon, 15
No matter what, don’t hand down a punishment and then change your mind or fail to enforce it:
I got into huge trouble recently, and my parents grounded me for three months, but after a month they stopped. It’s like . . . I can’t trust them. Is that weird? But that’s what it feels like. Like I can’t trust them because they didn’t follow through. -Tom, 16
It feels like they don’t even care about what you did which makes it easier to do again – Charlie, 14
If they really mess up, here’s something you can think about saying.
I love you. You are my son. That doesn’t take away that your actions have hurt another person and you need to be held accountable. You will, in time, come to terms with what you did. Through that process I will be by your side. But I will not deny what you have done and I will deeply reflect on how we got to this place. Anytime you would like to talk to me about this, I will be here.
Here’s the irony. These situations can eventually build the relationship between you. When the dust settles and the initial intense feelings on both sides have subsided it’s important to reconnect with each other.
The thing is that most parents don’t really talk about why they’re doing this stuff. It makes it seem that the parent likes punishing their kid. If parents just talked, it would be so much easier. —Damion, 15
Generally, at the end of my time grounded, I have to have a conversation with my parents about the bigger picture, how to prevent myself from getting in trouble again, and just being a better person in general. If I had just gotten grounded and left it at that, to me, that wouldn’t really resonate. As much of a pain those conversations were, they were what actually stuck with me, not the grounding. – Cooper, 17
Remember these moments are a moment, not a lifetime. Focus on what you want him to learn from this experience and the process he goes through as a consequence. And while it can be so much easier to yell or disconnect, these conversations can be the most important you ever have with him.

There is a definite Venus and Mars effect to sending offspring to college. While there is the commonality of parental emotions surrounding the event, the mechanics of it can be vastly different. Now, I know that there are some gross generalities in this post. Some girls don’t care about matching comforters and underbed skirts. Conversely,…

Lisa and I had to get on a flight unexpectedly this weekend to visit someone we love. And yesterday, we flew home.

Teenage boys get a bad rap. They are often characterized as hunched over their screens with remnants of snack food littering their desks. Moms complain that their sons have little interest in spending time with them. We are here to tell you that teenage boys are great this is how we spend time with them.…
“Text him,” my husband encourages. “I’m trying to give him space,” I say. We are discussing our oldest son, who is a guest at his girlfriend’s home this week. It’s a weird reversal of roles because I’m the overly-attached parent. “He should be sending us pictures and contacting us more,” my husband insists. “Text him…
OK, so I wouldn’t say that I’m handling it well exactly. The truth is, I’m not handling anything well at all at this point, because after several weeks of sheltering in place (and more ahead still full of uncertainty), adding testosterone laden energy, smells, sights, and sounds to a house we have all barely left…
“How long have you been playing today? Have you been outside? Did you take a break?” Those were the questions I would launch at my then-6th grader when he first started playing Fortnite two years ago. “No, you may not spend real money on skins. Your skin looks just fine to me! You need a…

My boys are laughing their heads off watching another episode of Impractical Jokers while I sit on the floor sorting and folding laundry, working hard trying to ward off the bad mood that’s been hovering around me since morning. None of my three sons asked if they could help, in fact, I’m sure none even considered it.…
It nearly brought me to tears. Here it was, the book about raising teenage boys that I had needed for over a decade, and it is perfect. Dr. Cara Natterson’s new book, Decoding Boys: New Science Behind the Subtle Art of Raising Sons, doesn’t give us an idealized view of the boys we love best but…

My son is purchasing his first car today after school. While there is a cloud of excitement around him, I find myself holding back the tears. The very tears he has no time for. You see, his buying a car makes me wonder how I got to this place. The place where my baby is…
