Re: Controlling behavior of teenagers
One of my brothers has implemented the following rules:
no computers in bedrooms -- only in the study where there are a couple of desks and all screens are visible from the door of the room - he also picked up some really huge monitors so you can see what is going on from afar
cell phones are returned to the charging station located in the master bedroom when you return home -- not used in the home -- friends are expected to call on the land line and interact with parents first
cell phone plans are monitored monthly to see who is calling/texting in and out and what is being written -- this also keeps the monthly cost of the data plan down cuz nobody should be surfing on there
working is a privilege and definitely a no-no until you are in uni -- they get an allowance for incidentals and bigger ticket items, within reason, are purchased for them so no need for extra money
outings are permitted only with those friends whose parents have been introduced to your own and there has been ample time spent with them
Niksik.....is this a Muslim community group or other?
