How can teens be kept safe in family jobs?

A family job is like sharing your toys, everyone gets to play and help out!

Family jobs mean people in a family work together, like how you and your brother might take turns cleaning up after playing with blocks. But sometimes, when teens are working in family jobs, they need extra care, just like how you’d wear a helmet if you were riding a bike really fast.

When teens do family jobs, it’s important to make sure the job is safe for them, like making sure the slide isn’t broken when you’re playing.

• Talk about the job: Ask your teen what feels safe and what might feel scary, just like how you’d ask if the swing seat feels good before you jump on.
• Set rules: Have simple rules so everyone knows what to do, it’s like having a “no running in the hallway” rule at home.

A teen should feel proud of their job, just like how you feel happy when you finish your homework. If they feel supported and safe, working in the family job can be fun, kind of like playing with all your favorite toys together!
