[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you feel about kids who respect and 'honor' their parent's wishes 'just because' that's how they were raised? It seems so out-of-date to us. But is the concept too uncomfortable for us?[/quote] But at some point during the transition from child to adult, they have to become individuals and begin making their own choices. Legally, that line is at 18 years old. Practically, it happens somewhere from 10-20. There really isn't any right or wrong answer here, just like every other question about how to raise kids. Lord knows I wish I had the instruction manual. I guess I'm just a little more practical in my beliefs. My kids are going to make their own choices and as a parent, I can give rewards or punishment/consequences for those choices. But they have to function as independent people.[/quote]
