[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

So let me get this straight. You did such a poor job raising your child to this point they engage in these behaviors? And you haven’t learned from your past mistakes and want to hover still?

Glad you have a great kid! It’s easy to judge when you do. I have multiple kids. One is harder and a rule breaker and the other two wouldn’t dream of it - it’s not always parenting.[/quote]

Disagree.
It’s 99% parenting.
The problem is in thinking that you can parent different children in the same way/method and it will “take” for each kid in the same way.
It may not.
So you try something else.
But at the heart of it is establishing boundaries in a way that they internalize so that they are partners with you on holding the line.[/quote]

Not the PP but I 100% disagree with you.  I couldn't for the life of my understand why 1 of my 4 kids was so different.  Defiant, impulsive, risk taker, etc... Beyond a late ADHD diagnosis (because they aren't hyper or lack focus and have good grades) we went even further and did a neurosych eval and received multiple diagnosis.  Brains aren't all wired the same, each individual has a personality even as a baby, and personal things that have happened to them (bullying, exclusion, poor teacher, terrible coach, etc...) absolutely play into who they are.   Kids and teens are NOT robots that just cater to the exact needs to a specific parenting.  [/quote]
