1) hug them and kiss them every morning, tell them i love them, encourage them to stick with it if they get frustrated with something 2)well it’s simple like this- they don’t do well in school, then they are grounded…and grounded means nobody goes out, nobody comes in..no computer, no phone….so pretty simply- bad grades = no bf/gf..bad attitudes are dealt with the same way..they are grounded and spoken to accordingly…sometimes there’s a swift slap involved (don’t judge) 3) i don’t use books…my mother raised 5 children, and her mother befor her raised 8- all the knowledge i ever needed was right there 4) we play LIFE…lol 5) these kids need a positive role-model…not a gang-banger

Be involved, tell them you love them, share your experiences, don’t preach lead. Accept who the want to date, don’t judge, all my kids knew the rules even their friends knew when over, 1) Nobody does anything with anyone else that requires the removal of clothing, 2) If rule 1 is broken be safe. Rule two as I told my daughter doesn’t mean you have permission but I’m a realest and want the best for you what ever decisions you make. No self help books but have a library of reading everything from Mystery, Fantasy, Horror, Classic, Religious, Modernism, Secular, just let them read and share your opinions and accept their interpretations. There are many great games and educational tools out there. The best ones are the ones that requires you to get involved as well as the child. I had issues with one of my children getting involved in criminal activities. My response was to call the police on him. Tough love is that very tough, I didn’t turn my back on him, I helped him with lawyers, bail, everyway I could. He just had to learn that in our family we obey the law or pay the piper as it was. I will admit he hated me at the time but we are very close now and he is doing great.

Only raised 2 – both boys – both challenging. But now I also teach – this year in high school. From what I see and hear: 1. Show them you love them – they may not always believe you, but do it anyway. Go to their school events, meet their teachers (the kids may not always appreciate it now, but it really will help), get to know their friends. 2. Talk WITH them and LISTEN to them – my own tell me I don’t do that and I know I try, but it’s the easiest thing to forget. (Honestly – I wouldn’t want to be a teenager in today’s world – so stressful and intense!) Be supportive without giving in. 3. Set rules you can live with; then do it. Even when they try to guilt you into giving up. 4. Kids in trouble need to know you notice them. Don’t give up on them, don’t bother to get mad at them (nice theory – hard in practice!). Just keep doing what you know is right, and try to get them to do the same. Give them small rewards when they do the right thing (amazing in school how much my 10-11-12 graders still like stickers!), ignore them if you can if they do something small that’s wrong (but give feedback for the right thing so they know you’re watching. A lot of it’s about testing you. 5. The best news is – most of the time, they apparently do grow out of it. According to what I heard years back, according to the kids, parents lose their brains when the kids turn 12, and start growing them back when the kids hit about 23. Eventually, we return to our prior state of brilliance. I hear. Good luck! Post a comment
