CHILDREN:
~
We do have different responsibilities to our children. We are
financially responsible for our children; we are responsible for
providing for their material needs.
Our children need to be taught how to help themselves, from
tying their shoes to making social plans. They need consistent
enforcement of boundaries, once we've established limits. They
need a supportive, nurturing environment in which to grow.
But we are not responsible for controlling our children. Contrary
to popular belief, controlling doesn't work. Discipline and nurturing
do – if combined. We need to respond to our children in a
responsible way and hold them accountable for their actions at an
age-appropriate level.
We can let our children have their own process of living; we can
have our own process. And, we can take care of ourselves during
that process.
