[quote=Ann10]When the kids are little, we make all the decisions, and as they get older we are not with them all the time so that they have to make decisions on their own.  An example would be who they want to eat lunch with or what activities they are interested in. I will offer activities that we can afford and fit into our current schedule.  We can make suggestions as to what friends we like them to invite over or what activities they would be good at.  I try to give choices when I think it is right for their age.  I do not give my children their way when it comes to clothes because I am paying for it. Another area where I am stricter is allowing tweens to be on their own too early.  Parenting is not easy and it is hard because I don't always agree with what other parents do but I have to stand my ground and stick to my decision. It is good to talk these issues out with your child ahead of time so that they know where you stand and they can be  prepared for your reaction.    [/quote]
