Re: Limits and allowances for children
Children especially pre teens must be clearly but politely told and trained on what they can and will be able to do and what is not and will not be allowed for them.
the most essential thing to do is to make sure that children do not get mixed messages and that they can see their elders be consistent with what they are told.
t.v. screening must be a minimum and only educational as well as safe fun learning entertainment programming.
at no time, should pre teens and teens be given X amount of money to take for granted.
they should be creatively asked to do certain good responsible things around the house and in their studies and then be given the pocket money allowance as a reward.
pre teens and teens must share their friends' contact numbers and parents' info with you so that you know where your children or younger sibling is.
