Me and My Diary

Do you have teenagers?

thank you

thanks stefan

Well I can't comment on raising children, or teenagers for that matter! All you can do is make sure there is a good line of communication. Although you don't want your child to be hurt, it happens in life and they learn and grow from it, I suppose. You might have to read up on communication material to have between a parent and a child/teenager to get some good tips. Of course, prayer is an important factor, keep her in your prayers that God will protect her and guide her.

well Kat.......spend some time with her....a vacation ..i suppose

thanks

why do you think you may have failed her? do you think she is straying from the values you taught her? Children do test the waters sometimes and/or sometimes do things to see how we are parents will react. I think that children do want to be disciplined even when they are acting like they don't want that discipline. I think children need some free rein but still need discipline too. I hope things go well for you and your daughter. I know communication is a key factor and letting a child know they can talk to us about anything without fear of being scolded for asking questions, etc.

p.s. we can only do so much as a parent, the rest is up to the child to decide which rules and values they follow. If they make mistakes along the way, hopefully they won't be serious ones, and that they will learn from them.

i can feel the worry in your letter..you are a good mom to care so much. Teenagers are beginning to discover who they are. At this age, they love their friends. Sometimes a relationships develops. as a parent you have to know when to say something and when to keep quiet. do the best you can but always, always be HONEST! And speak from what you believe in your heart.

Oh thank you so much, I do love the way you reacted in my post. It gives me more knowledge and comfortable and it awakes me from my worries. I love the way you responded glenway and Edna. I agree to be honest and speak out as a mother. Thank you all guys/gals and Good night / day !
