Factors That Affect Important Decision Making by Youth Video. Tells the story of four boys who are faced with a decision–whether or not to steal a car and take a joy ride. Shows that even though a boy’s decision may be colored by his background, the responsibility is his. Well done production for teenagers about making important decisions. Also indicates the importance of positive parent interaction with their children. Sid Davis triumphs again in this insightful study of the young criminal mind. When four teenage boys chance upon a stylish convertible with its keys left in the ignition, they momentarily consider if stealing the vehicle is a wise move. The film’s tough narrator states that while the four boys have gone through unique life experiences that will ultimately influence their decision to either steal the car or simply walk away, they are all cognizant that the theft of the convertible constitutes a major criminal offence and that they will be held liable for their actions. Those familiar with several of Davis’ other films won’t find the conclusion to be quite as hard-hitting as one might expect, but it certainly doesn’t disappoint. A nice production that stresses the importance of personal responsibility in a world in which it is being increasingly eschewed. Four 1960′s teen boys, products of their environment and life experience, find a new convertable with the top down and the keys in the ignition. While we are in suspense about what they will do, the narrator reveals each teen’s life history. In the somewhat moody style of social guidance films from Sid Davis Productions. Decision making is an important skill to learn because we make decisions every day, big and little. Parents want children to grow up to be independent, responsible, happy adults. Learning and using a decision-making and problem-solving process will help them grow toward this goal. Teens need to make more and more of the decisions affecting them. They will learn and grow from their successes and their mistakes. If parents make most of the decisions for them, they will not be ready to take on this task as they become adults. How can you, as a parent, help them learn decision-making skills? Teach them how to work through the steps in decision making and let them make decisions. Frequently you may be involved in the process, and you can model appropriate actions. This is also a great opportunity to open communication between you and your child. High-risk behaviors are those that can have adverse effects on the overall development and well-being of youth, or that might prevent them from future successes and development. This includes behaviors that cause immediate physical injury (e.g., fighting), as well as behaviors with cumulative negative effects (e.g., substance use). Risk behaviors also can affect youth by disrupting their normal development or prevent them from participating in ‘typical’ experiences for their age group. For example, teen pregnancy can preclude youth from experiencing typical adolescent events such as graduating from school or from developing close friendships with peers. Because high-risk behaviors can significantly impact the lives of youth and those around them, it is essential that parents, educators and other concerned adults become aware of the prevalence of these behaviors, the factors that increase their likelihood, and what can be done to abate or prevent those risks.

Description from Dr. Phil website: Skylin and Robert are newlyweds with a blended family of five kids. Robert’s two boys, Andrew, 12, and Micah, 8, constantly torment their new sister, Kaitlyn, 8, which leads to yelling, crying, screaming and chaos. Helen says her 9-year-old son, Ethan, has been in the “terrible twos” for the past seven years. Ethan lies, steals, cheats and bullies other kids. He’s been suspended from school and has caused thousands of dollars worth of damage to family vehicles. Lisa says her 15-year-old daughter, Haley, is spoiled and unappreciative. She’s mistreated her new home and her expensive clothes. Haley says her mother nags her constantly and is always angry. Wendy is a single mom who lost her daughter, Olivia, three years ago to brain cancer. Since that time, her 10-year-old son, Noah’s, behavior has spiraled out of control. He’s been in trouble at school countless times, including hitting the principal. Noah says Wendy doesn’t treat him with respect, and he’s called Child Protective Services, claiming that she abuses him. Wendy says she hasn’t stopped grieving for her daughter.

From drphil.com : Dr. Phil meets with the parents and shows them home camera footage of poor parenting situations in their home. After playing a chaotic scene in Skylin and Robert’s home, Dr. Phil tells Robert that his son, Andrew, is begging for more time with his dad, and it would be tragic if Robert didn’t hear him. Robert gets choked up when he explains that Andrew has been through a lot. Dr. Phil tells Skylin that her daughter, Kaitlyn, is a drama queen because that is how she gets attention. He implores them to create a calm environment in their home, take back control and create a unified front as parents. Dr. Phil tells Helen and her ex-husband, Tony, that they are not unified, and plays a videotaped scene in their home of them trying unsuccessfully to get Ethan out of bed. Tony raises his voice at his son and then argues loudly with Helen. Tony admits that their arguments are a big reason why Ethan behaves as he does. When Wendy asks the question, “What do we do?” Dr. Phil wonders if he’s wasting his time. He tells Wendy that she created the behavior her intelligent son exhibits, she rewarded him for it, and she is the one who is shaping him to be who he is. He tells all the parents that they are in a power struggle, and they need to calm the environment, set predictable consequences, identify their children’s currencies, and change the way they react to their kids. Dr. Phil explains that their homes should be joyous, not chaotic. He tells Lisa that her daughter is beautiful but doesn’t know it, and all the kids have negative internal dialogues, which can be reversed if their parenting philosophies change.
