[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the law 21?  I don't understand how you allow your child to break the law.  So then you are in a situation where some laws are OK to break and others are not?  How do kids learn right from wrong.  Very confusing to me.[/quote]

Those of you that allow it before 21, can you please explain how you justify it?  I'm the type of parent/person that does my best to obey the laws and rules (yes, even the speed limit!) and while it does drive my child crazy sometimes, this is how I want to model being a law-abiding citizen to her.  Do you allow your child to disobey you if they don't agree with a house rule?  How should children figure out which laws are ok to break and which ones are not?  This thread has my mind all types of messed up!![/quote]

We have a young child so its a non-issue now.  But, growing up, for Jewish holidays it was normal for kids to sip off parents, so it wasn't a big deal.  I didn't drink in high school but my parents were the if you do, tell us and moderation and absolutely no driving.  The bigger deal you make of it, the more kids will want to experiment. [/quote]
