- kleer001 6y agoOnly problem is that absorbing this information requires attention and reasoning (and possibly respect). Those are all things furiously absent in teens. I don't have kids, let alone a teen. So, I'm sorry I can't really help. My only concern is that OP, as a parent, might have already missed their window for achieving the level of discipline in their kid necessary to follow their word AND/OR their kid is the typical teen and driven to do the opposite of what they're asked to do. It might be adaptive in some environment, but during a pandemic it is not.
