Parenting Sytle
As a family we had fun times. Then sometimes money was tight, but we did simple, not expensive fun that we called; Making Memories. We had treasure hunts at the beach.
Mystery rides, backwards day, picnics at the park. We made snowmen, mitten, stocking pizzas. This became a holiday fun time also. February we made heart shaped pizzas. March was Saint Patricks day 4 leaf clover pizzas.
Going through the so called teen years? Well from research teens brains are at a stage where they don't always know right from wrong.
Recent brain-imaging studies show the honing process is not complete until young people have reached their early twenties
The so called teen years are just a part of growing up
This very important info for parents as well as teens. They just need guidance, love, attention for the good goals they have accomplished. Sometimes teens need a firm rein, every teen is different. |

Teach your child to obey the driving rules it could save their life and the lives of others. If you don't think your child is mature enough to drive, Please don't let them.
Your child is excited, Yeah! I get to drive. You're happy, and scared at the same time. This is when you both know your child is growing up. You know and wish they were little again so you can protect them. However, you taught them more than the drivers education teacher. I swear to god you better not be caught speeding on a residential street. Don't look at your friend while talk and driving at the same time! They can hear you, they don't need to look you in the eye! Remember no drinking while driving...oh boy. Then it happens, cha ching, fees, no car, getting rides to work. Life sucks but it's your own fault and by gods grace you didn't get killed or kill someone else!
I'M THE FIRST PERSON TO ADMIT I WAS WRONG
This is an absolute, admitting you were wrong, never let someone else take the blame.
Sometimes it takes me awhile, just like your child. My experience has been, if you don't understand what someone means ask again. Remember to always own up to what you did, lying never gets you anywhere but deeper in the hole.
I taught my children that know question is a stupid one
Read all you can, if you don't know a word look in the dictionary. The more you read the more you will be able to spell correctly. Yes, now we have computers and spell check. Still take it upon yourself to write it down and remember it, less spell checking time. Be the student who isn't afraid to ask. Get answers
Knowledgeable parents create self confident children
As a parent, I was strict, knew where my children were. When they arrived at their destination they called to let me know. Same as when they would be back home. Rules, do not lie, steal, be disrespectful this will bring shame to yourself and your family. Remember know one knows everything, just because I am quite older than you I am a little wiser. However I know you have a lot to offer, tell me, talk to me. I want to know how you feel about life. Your children teach you as well. Remember this. My children were raised not to make fun of others. That mainstreaming was great. Help encourage another student with sports, a subject in school and vice versa. The world is made up of different cultures, respect this.

Take a step out of your circle of friends. Reach out to someone whom is labeled an outcast. You may find out you have alot in common.
Not everyone has designer clothes, is a jock etc. That one person whom isn't in a click more than likely is their own person and has a lot to offer as a friend. Learn from your child. They need to accept that their opinions on life count just as much as yours do. It is a wonderful feeling when your child shares their day with you. Want their friends to feel welcome in your home. Everyone is different, from other cultures, do not put them down. Learn from others, share in their lifestyles. The foods from other countries, the heritage. This will always be a memory and a friend made for life.
