In this short parenting advice video, Coach Ambereen addresses the common scenario where a teen returns home past curfew without notifying the parents. She recommends a firm, immediate response: lock the front door and, if necessary, change the access code so the teen cannot re‑enter, and then deliberately refrain from replying to the teen’s late‑night text or call. While acknowledging that this approach may feel harsh, Ambereen frames it as a bold, purposeful strategy to teach the teen to respect household rules and to communicate proactively about their whereabouts.
