When they are young teens then punishment is all the parents doing. I think that once they are around 16 let them start having more of a say in things. After all in 2 very short years they will be adults and how are they going to know responsiblity and limits if they have never had to figure them out for themselves before. So at 16 they should be allowed to test the waters into adulthood while we are still there to pull them out if they start to drown. Don't play the adult/child role throughout the whole teen years because then they leave home still a child and not the adult they need to be.

The most effective thing my parents did was make me take responsibility and ownership of what I did. In addition to taking responsibility, I feel the best thing to do is let the teenager figure out what are the next steps to resolve the issue. If the teenager decides the next steps on his own, then they are much more likely to learn and grow from their mistakes.
