Teens - Actions, Consequences & Rewards

Teens Actions, Consequences & Rewards was written to encourage teens to stop and think before they act, consider the consequences of their actions, and to capitalize on the rewards of positive actions. Often teens turn a deaf ear to warnings about consequences. Their sense of invincibility says, "It won't happen to me." When you add to the mix adolescent hormones, the quest for excitement, the chemistry of romance, and self-esteems issues, forethought goes out the window. So what will encourage teens to stop and think? Perhaps knowing that self-directed thoughts, decisions, and actions will lead to real rewards. The activities in this workbook will help teens consider the following goals before acting: Make decisions based on probably outcomes versus immediate gratification; uncover hidden consequences and rewards; discover healthy vs. unhealthy risks; define safe risks; avoid preventable dangers; handle difficult circumstances; and work toward authentic rewards.
