Methods for dealing with the madness Teens prefer one-on-one communication:
directly tell teens our expectations Keep regulations simple and few. "Respect
yourself, respect others, and respect property.”
Try not to forget what it was like when you were a kid
When teens are disrespectful, don't take it personally
![Page 41: We all serve teens!](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052510/568132cb550346895d998b6a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Methods for dealing with the madness (2)
Don't have rules exclusively for teens Consistency is key.
All library staffers need to be alerted when a teen has broken a rule more than once
Be consistent with rules Develop relationships with teens
