Times have changed, lives have changed. The bible tells us to train up a child.....(you should know the rest); how we train them is the importance. Parents are going to feel that they know it all or like you said are "good two shoes" but as a parent we have to look at what's best for our children..not sharing a lot of ourselves. As a Christian I always look up to the Lord for my guidance; with my kids, I keep my past out of the equation (unless they ask) and find out what they want. - Dana Fri, 23 May 2008 06:36:43 +0100 http://www.izania.com/blog/default-category/they-don%27t-want-what-you-want/#comment-210 I believe children learn from mistakes made---as well as letting them know we've "been there--done that" The problem I see with many parents is they try to paint themselves as "goody two shoes" and chastise everything their child tries to do. They may not want what we want but they deserve to know the OPTIONS. - Beverly Mahone Thu, 22 May 2008 22:21:55 +0100 http://www.izania.com/blog/default-category/they-don%27t-want-what-you-want/#comment-208 Thanks for sharing this excellent advice. It is difficult for many parents to accept that their children want something different. Sometimes we just have to be reminded that they are adults, and you're right -- we can't re-raise them. - Roger Madison Jr. Wed, 21 May 2008 23:02:02 +0100
