- Tweens and teens whose parents yell for discipline have more behavioral challenges, lower self-esteem and may even suffer from increased depression.

- Goal monitoring will lead to success
- Creating new habits and breaking old habits can take time.
- Write down your daily progress; as you see consistent progress, you should believe that you will reach your goals.
