When mentoring your teenager through decision-making processes, it's important to provide guidance while also allowing them to make their own choices. Encouraging open communication and active listening can help teenagers feel supported and understood. For example, when your teenager is deciding which extracurricular activities to pursue, you can discuss their interests and strengths to help them make an informed decision.
