LET'S SEE WHAT WORKS BASED ON COMMON SENSE AND LOGIC; NOT RESEARCH! What's the answer to the child-run home syndrome? Parent-run homes! How do I offset the terrible two's? By establishing early behavior guidelines. How do I prepare my children for school? By consistent parental guidance! Is that the same for hanging out at the mall? Smart guidance says no go! How do I offset peer and fashion pressures? By value-centered guidance. What about school or community dances? By 8th grade if adult supervised. How about outside influences for early dating, sex, and illicit activities? They're totally offset by guidance from caring and in-control tough-loving parents! What about strategies for disrespect? Parental value-guided homes work! What about a car? It makes sense for adolescents to buy their own. Am I obligated to pay for college? Maybe, based on finances and efforts. When should young adults fledge? They'll know when it's innately time to go!
