As a Probation Officer or even a parent of a troubled youth, you
will need to help your child or juvenile delinquent make better decisions
throughout their adolescent years. They may feel "torn", overwhelmed,
stressed and many other feelings with just the smallest decision. As a juvenile
on probation they have to be careful of those small choices/ decisions they make
or have to make, because it could lead into more trouble, which they do not
need. Or it may help them and they may get positive results.Taking the first step, help them clarify what the decision involves. Allowing for them to do what is next, and that is looking at all the alternatives. You as the adult will guide them through. They will be ready to make the best possible decision. Not all decisions will be secure and solid. So the last step would be then to determine the consequences and then evaluating the whole decision.
