[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you exert too much control over which kids your kids are allowed to socialize with and which ones they aren't, it makes it harder for them to develop their own powers of discernment. Kids need to learn through direct experience how to handle bad friendships, and how to be friends with people outside of their parents' small social/cultural bubble. [b]Upper-caste Indian[/b], Orthodox Jewish, and new money WASP parents tend to be the most controlling in my experience. Then they get mad when their early 20-something college grad doesn't get into a top law or med school because their sheltered bubble-child has zero cultural awareness.[/quote] What! Lol. How would anyone know what caste someone is? My family is the highest caste of Brahmin and I have discussed this with no one, ever. It's not something you can tell by talking to a person.[/quote]
