Well then thats the difference between good parenting and bad parenting.
I think parents should 'train' kids to come talk to them about any issues at an early age
and if the parents say no, then it has to be with a good reason...unlike brown parents who show the slap and say no... personally I would discuss and try to strike some kind of deal
the point is to have kids come talk to you...once they think they can make decisions on their own without parental input...its tricky.
teens dont think like adults..thats why they have parents.
those same kids that are dying their hair at age 13...some of them are having sex at that same age..so its important to set rules and be involved in your childs life
Growing up in downtown Toronto..Ive seen it all..including my 15 year old classmates with baby carriages..
Bossing around certainly isn't the difference.
Yes, I should have elaborated too. Not exactly train, involve them in day to day activities. Tell them about small things you do, have the whole family discuss it together. They will grow up believing that's what's normal, you first talk things out and then do it.
Exactly, you gotta reason out with kids instead of the no, because I am your parent. Just talk, if it's bad for the, let them see the effects themselves. Tell them anecdotes.
Yes, exactly. Although they need to believe that final decision will be theirs, parents will just give input. Then, they will surely come for guidance when in doubt. But if they think they would be overridden, they won't bother.
And teens are not always wrong and parents are not always right. That's what every argument boils down to, what to do if they disagree?
Yes, definitely. You have to take interest in their life. You gotta create the atmosphere where things are freely communicated.
About teen parents, we all know well that no amount of rule can stop people who get adamant on things. Parents can just hope for a kid who learns to distinguish what is good for him from the bad.
