[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a 10yr old and a 6yr old, I can confirm for you OP that yes, you are indeed clueless about parenting a tween. Your well-tested tools for parenting your 6 year old are not the same tools as needed for parenting a child on the tail end of young childhood. The combination of emotions and more complex thinking and logic and childishness all rolled into one means "picking your battles" isn't as black and white. I am fully aware I am in no position to advise on how to parent a full-fledged teenager. I'm still in the minor leagues. But a 6yr old is more like t-ball. [/quote] +1 on all counts... (and yes, you are in no position to advise on parenting a teen, but as someone who does parent a teen (and parents quite badly many days), I can promise that your current humility will serve you well.)[/quote]
