[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids this age are really not self-motivated. Parents need to put in the same amount of their time to guide the kid that they expect the kid to spend. But, parents want kids to be on auto-pilot. Be careful about the romance novels. Many romance novels nowadays are basically softcore porn with steamy or sextreame scenes. For your hormonal 8th grader it is not going to be easy to wean herself off of it, especially if every other friend in her group is already into boys too. This is a form of addiction. I have no advice for you. Easy to prevent such behavior than to stop this. The only thing I will say is that in today's day and age, if you want your kid to make good choices, then you have to devote your time and make sure that you surround them with good choices. [/quote] Thank you for the point on teen romance novels. I had assumed they are innocent coming of age stories. I’ll read one myself to see what it is about. [/quote]
