[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was told once, "at 13years, you're done". They're formed. There's not much you can do. I now think that is true. I didn't pay attention when that advice was given to me. Don't really know what I would have done differently *BUT* I do think 9 - 13 are by far the most formative years when parents still have influence.[/quote] I'm a parent of three kids and am also parenting our niece; ages are 16-28. I don't agree with the above. Parents have a lot of opportunities to help "coach" kids through HS, college and even beyond. If you have a good relationship, you respect their self-awareness and goals, but respond to requests for advice. Even if they don't take it, you let them know you're in their corner. [/quote]
