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.
