"Mature Guidance that Guides!"   Constructive marital relationships work best through platonic courtships. "Isn't that old fashioned?" Parents who start off right have a greater potential to be effective guardians because of spiritual grace that guides wise choices. From day one spiritualized parents establish consistent schedules to promote safety and security guidelines. Aware parents have the ability to distinguish intervention cries from immature controlling ones that put the child in control. Mature jumps from toddler, to adolescent, to young adult, to mature adult are easily advanced in balanced, tough-love, patient, and parent-guided households. "GUIDANCE THAT WORKS!"      Let's see what logically works best: What's the answer to the child-run home syndrome? Parent-run tough-love guidelines! How do I offset the terrible two's? With consistent mature adult tough-love guidance. How do I prepare my children for formal school experiences? There's no need to because children naturally adjust to community responsibilities when they're taught to be responsible at home. Do I have to let my children have or go to slumber parties? Smart parents discourage them to prevent possible illicit activities. Is that the same for hanging out at the mall? Yes, because hanging out with footloose peers is a volatile recipe for  total disaster.  How do I offset peer and fashion pressures? Peer pressure is a given, but children from loving homes have little need to fit-in with the in-crowd or to buy expensive things to be accepted.  What about school or community dances? Dances are okay by eight or ninth grade if they're supervised by mature adults. How about outside influences for early dating, sex, and illicit activities? They're offset by tough-love as an alternative to crime, drugs, early sex, and alcohol abuse. What about strategies for disrespectful behavior? It's just not tolerated!   What about a car? It's best that adolescents buy their own to be responsible. Am I obligated to pay for my children's college education? Absolutely not, but you can help based on your financial status and their academic effort. How will I know when to let my young adults fledge? You will, when they're ready!
