[quote=Anonymous]Typical good parenting: High involvement/warmth with kids, setting appropriate and consistent boundaries, and giving consequences when appropriate. Actively teach empathy, responsibility, and integrity. Provide increasing independence/privileges as child demonstrates responsibility. Talk to kids about sex/drugs/alcohol from an early age. At least by 8. And talk often. Lay out your expectations. Model appropriate behavior. Understand they "will" make mistakes. But if you've instilled your values/expectations before puberty, they will stay pretty consistent on the right path. Parents who are too authoritarian or too permissive tend to have the most problems with their teens and young adults. Try to stay in the middle. [/quote]
