Controlling behavior of teenagers

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?
