I agree that we all need to do a better job paying attention and making absolutely sure that your kids know where we stand on the issues and the behavior they see all around them. Making our expectations known doesn't guarantee that teens and tweens will always make healthy choices (as if!), but having your voice in their head helps make them stop and think. Sometimes that's all they need to do to make better choices. Along with knowing our expectations, they need to know what are the consequences for choosing to blow off your rules. btw, here's the link to the free download of Teen Survival Guide http://teensurvivalguide.comAnnie Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09743646298051470550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580431149406245496.post-49689875699216269972009-10-08T13:38:06.998-07:002009-10-08T13:38:06.998-07:00Wacky world adventures of the Williams family: Tha...Wacky world adventures of the Williams family: Thank you Dr Phil<br /><br />I wasnt going to post on my site at all about Dr Phil, but after your post, I knew I had to.Ginny Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747681231344346476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580431149406245496.post-32755493531041421722009-10-08T12:42:32.128-07:002009-10-08T12:42:32.128-07:00Michelle I couldn't agree with you more.

Respect is a fading thing right now with this new group of kids growing up.<br /><br />I work in the lunch room in my child's school and during lunch the 4th and 5th grade boys heckle the middle schoolers as they walk by. (we have a shared school). I would NEVER at that age done that. I would have been to scared to. I asked them if they realize that they have to go to school with them next year and their response is "what are they going to do?" Scary. Yes these kids may be protected in school but they are in sports and clubs with these older kids outside of school. I fear for their safety really. Good judgment seems to be fading as well. An older kid could make an example of them just to fit in.<br /><br />Anyways, sorry I haven't been joining the tip parade really. I am doped up on cold meds with a house full of sick children. I'm feeling very witty this week! :)<br /><br />I am going to repost this though. good topic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523107011760320235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580431149406245496.post-44087003231148327052009-10-08T12:33:57.092-07:002009-10-08T12:33:57.092-07:00Hi there Michelle,

I have kids who are only 6 and 4 and I know that those high alert days are soon coming. <br /><br />I am anxious to see the show and discussion is a good thing. My friend has a teenage son and she is in total agreement with you and that is why she hasn't gotten a job. She also has a 10 year old. <br /><br />Good post. <br />Obnoxious :) <br />http://www.theobnoxioussahm.comSavvy-Motherhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862870782380728064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580431149406245496.post-81177221754490296622009-10-08T11:09:21.738-07:002009-10-08T11:09:21.738-07:00As a mom who's "been there" with my ...As a mom who's "been there" with my kids, I advise moms "If youhave to choose between staying at home when your kids are little or staying at home when they get older, choose the latter" In the area in which I live, day cares no longer accept children once they are in middle school. That is the time these kids need the MOST supervision. If you think a 13 year old can't get into much trouble in the half hour between the time they get off the school bus and the time you get home from work, think again! When and why did kids start thinking the oral sex is not sex?Sharon Harrisnoreply@blogger.com
