My fellow parents: take this as an opportunity to praise your kids for making good choices. Our teenagers could be doing this, and they're choosing not to. Let them know you see that.
Do my kids roll their eyes and laugh when I tell them things like "hey good job not being part of a gun theft ring, I see you making good choices and I appreciate that"? Yes. But I also know they love being seen, and they appreciate that I see that they are good kids. Also, it always starts good conversations.

Positive reinforcement goes a lot further than negative. A lot of people don't realize that.
