PA, urges parents to teach leadership by
giving teens freedom and responsibility.
“Kids should be given responsibility at a
young age, well before adolescence. This
builds work ethic and self-confidence. If
parents want to encourage leadership
qualities in their teens, they must build
their teen’s self-confidence. Leadership
is about self-confidence — knowing you
can make decisions and knowing you
can take responsibility.”
If parents nurture self-esteem and
confidence, as well as provide teens with
opportunities to lead in social situations,
their teens will develop invaluable life
skills and learn to believe in themselves,
even if class president is not their ultimate
goal.
