yet, they've also been through childhood before, and hopefully figured
out hope to cope with the problems you faced through hindsight. That
doesn't mean they aren't going to fuck up with their present-day
problems. Maybe they should call their parents up for advice :)
That
being said, I have a rule with my son: Any rule that needs to be
changed, I'll allow him to convince me with a reasoned argument. If
it's sound, I will change the rule, even if I don't like it. I
intentionally make some rules more restrictive than I think they should
be, or rules that I think are bullshit, just to empower him.
Also, I always try to explain my reasoning, for any I tell him. Sometimes, though, it's useless to go over things again.
First instance: "Zip up your coat." "Why? I'm not cold." "Because it's -5 out, it's not good for you," explanation of hypethermia...
90th instance: "Zip up your coat." "Why? I'm not cold." "Just zip up your damn coat." |
