RESPONSIBILITY
+ RESPECT
Own what belongs to you. Follow through. Contribute. Become someone others can count on.
RISE2AHIGH SCHOOL YEARS
TAKE THE
WHEEL.
OWN MORE. LEARN MORE. NEED LESS MANAGING.
High school changes the equation. School. Sports. Schedules. Technology. Relationships. Work. Money. Decisions. The future. RISE2A gives teenagers a framework for increasingly managing these parts of life themselves — while parents transition from manager to coach to advisor.

THE OWNERSHIP YEARS
THE QUESTION HAS TO CHANGE.
OLD QUESTION
“How do I get my teenager to do this?”
NEW QUESTION
“How do I help my teenager learn to manage this themselves?”
THAT’S WHERE RISE2A BEGINS.
THE RISE2A FRAMEWORK
FOUR LETTERS.
EIGHT CAPABILITIES.
ONE DIRECTION.
The same RISE pillars from RISE READY — with higher expectations and greater ownership.
RESPONSIBILITY
I
INDEPENDENCE
+ INITIATIVE
Plan ahead. Start without being chased. Solve problems. Ask early when support is needed.
S
SOCIAL CONNECTION
+ SELF-AWARENESS
Be present. Build relationships. Know your patterns. Read the room.
E
EFFORT
+ EMPOWERMENT
Do hard things. Control the controllables. Learn from failure. Take the wheel.
OWNERSHIP PROGRESSION
RESPONSIBILITY
SHOULD MOVE.
From parent-held to teen-owned — one area of life at a time.
STAGE 01
SUPPORTED
Parents provide structure, instruction and significant support.
STAGE 02
SHARED
Teen and parent plan or manage the responsibility together.
STAGE 03
OWNED
The teen increasingly initiates, plans and follows through.
STAGE 04
INDEPENDENT
The young person manages the responsibility and asks for support appropriately.
AS CAPABILITY GOES UP,
PARENT MANAGEMENT COMES DOWN.
