[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth is we don't have that much control over our teens' behavior. Most of it is their personality. They need to learn to make good decisions. How can they learn decision-making skills withot ever making a mistake and dealing with the consequences? They need to learn to fix mistakes. They need to learn to fail, and try again. Trying to control all of their decisions is counter-productive. They aren't completely on their own yet, but they will be soon enough. [/quote] And yet in some cultures/cities, teens behave one way, and in other areas, they behave in other ways. The culture in DC is not one where I would choose to raise my teens.[/quote]
