Teaching self-control in the teen years

So in the toddler years we focus on teaching physical self-control,
in the school years we teach verbal self-control and
in the teen years we turn towards emotional/thought self-control.

With our teen we discuss, unpack, teach, guide and encourage in the areas of:

movies
books
career
modestry
politics
charity
friendships
work
church - attendance and participation
finances
sport
private world
hygeine
bible
chores
nutrition
celebrations
integrity
global citizenship
sleep
television
recreation
family
siblings
music
internet
world view
time management
eternity
relationships
phone use
car driving and ownership
future . . .
