LifeIsGrand asked:
Do you choose a specific doctor for sports physicals? Do you stay in the room or wait outside? Can a physical be done by the school nurse? Is there any part of the sports physical that you can refuse and still pass a physical?

When it comes to parenting teenagers here are 3 tips which you might find helpful:
1. Give teenagers room to explore. Children need to learn to stand on their own two feet and this means allowing them have an increasing degree of independence as they grow up. This does not mean that you do not have to keep an eye on them and point them in the right direction, but do not be too fast to intervene.
2. Invite your kids’ friends to dinner. Nearly all parents experience their kids hanging out with friends who they do not approve of, but just about as many parents decide that they do not approve of these friends without actually meeting them. Even if your fears are correct, there is more than a grain of thruth in the old saying that you ought to keep your friends close to you and your enemies even closer.
3. Set up a system for providing ‘peace of mind’. Children have to have a fair amount of freedom but you also need to have the peace of mind which comes from knowing where they are and what they are doing. So, it is important that you develop some kind of system which allows them to keep in touch with you. For example, they might have to telephone when they are out in the evening to let you know that everything is well.

celery_is_the_enemy asked: Ok, I might be worrying a little early (my kids are 3 and 5 yrs old) but I wonder how to parent kids when they get older
Because I know eventually the next step will be my older (and maybe younger too) kid will ask to sleep over at another kid’s house & after that who knows and the parenting tactics might fail with me because all of a sudden your kids are grown up (or think they are) and you can’t just hug them when they get a booboo or try to offer them your parental advice because they might think they’re old enough to be above it.
Anyways how do you think your parenting will change when your kids get older, or now that they actually *are* older? I am afraid that someday my kids will be too old to put them in timeout as a punishment for misbehaving and too old for me to just hug them and tell them an “ouchy” will go away.
So what do you do when your kids get older as far as parenting? I know we can’t stop time, but how does your parenting change as far as rules and such?

katkrazy asked:
Are you for or against the teen curfew?
Is there a curfew in your town (or county)?
If there is, how did you respond to it?
Do you think it’s helped keep teens out of trouble?
Or do you think other methods would be better suited to deal with juvenile crime?
Thanks!
