[quote=Anonymous]My parents set clear limits and expectations, like reasonable curfews. One of us followed those limits (me), the other didn't (my sibling). But as an adult, sibling has said that things would have been much worse without stated limits. This fits with something I read recently as the parent of a young teen. You can expect that kids will test those limits, be late for curfew, etc., but the limits themselves set a norm and help rein the kids in. For example, it's better to give a 11:30 p.m. curfew and have kid get home at 12:15 a.m. than to set no curfew and have kids stay out until 3 a.m.[/quote]
