[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously stop tracking your kid. People parented for thousands of years without doing this. [/quote]

My kid is 14 so no [/quote]

They don’t drive so your tracking their walking?[/quote]

Are you kidding pp

Tracking whether they are sneaking out. Or really at a friends house. Or really at a sleepover, or really studying at home (if you are elsewhere)

Some teens lie and sneak. I have 3 of them and 1 is trying to break the rules every darn day. So I get it.

I have two teen kids.
And when I read posts like yours, PP, I genuinely wonder what conversations were had in their early life about what you value as a family (and where those values come from) in terms of honestly vs. deceit and how your choices either serve to build or lose trust, and in understanding that this shapes who you are in terms of core character development.

When these chats come in response to poor choices, they tend to sound like lecturing reprimands and don’t really land. So I’m
not suggesting you “lay down the law” here bc it probably won’t work.

But when the discussion is part of an early foundation of upbringing, kids tend to internalize these values because the clarity make sense. Our choices define our character.
