[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Respect them as separate human beings and accept that they may be making different decisions than you would under the same circumstances. And that’s ok, and it goes both ways.[/quote] This was it for me. Spend more time learning who this person you raised IS, and less time trying to make them be something else. Also, show, don't tell. I've found that unasked-for lectures go nowhere. But my kids picked up most of what I demonstrated, from table manners to housekeeping standards to personal financial management. In the areas where their approach is different from mine, as long as it's not dangerous, I've let it go. Finally, be honest. Demonstrate that they can trust you, across every facet of life. [/quote]
