[quote=Anonymous]I'm 50 and have a tween and teen. So I can't speak to the finished product of adult children. But I do, based on my own generation, allow my children to make both decisions and mistakes. I let my rising 9th grader pick her own schedule, and her own electives. I'm not pushing her toward a specific career path; SHE is the one who will have to wake up to go to a job, not me. It needs to be something that gets her out of bed in the morning. Most of all, I'm trying to raise mentally well-adjusted children who have a moral and ethical compass, are kind, compassionate, empathetic and civic-minded. That's the foundation, everything else flows from there.[/quote]
