  1. Im liking this advice 👍🏼😃
    But I’m confused about consequences for low grades? Our son has never had high marks, how could we possibly punish him for not being as smart as other kids? This is baffling.

  2. I don’t understand why we all try to teach parents what to do ? Should be videos for kids what they have to do ? They know everything now adays .all information is there on google mama. Even ur videos also they might watched so they know what parents and how will they play with us . I think we should have more videos on kids to see why ur parents are like this .they should also know that their parents are experienced and don’t want them to go in wrong directions.
    They respect all except their own family .

  3. My 14 year old has shown us over and over again that the freedoms we allow him, he abuses and makes extremely poor choices with. What then? Shouldn’t those freedoms be completely revoked? This broadcast seems to be for the older teenagers perhaps?

  4. Letting teens pick thier friend's is terrible advice! When a parent knows "the friend " is a trouble maker, or dabbling in alcohol etc. The parent needs to make sure they are clear with boundaries and forbid them to hang with that "Friend"…

  5. I'm facing this now, though my 15-year old is actually a great person, just very private. She keeps her grades up and doesn't seem have any substance abuse problems, but I fear for the influence of the Internet upon her. Being private she doesn't talk much and I find myself so anxious about what she thinks! That terror of not being able to control what she thinks is my biggest problem, and this to some extent assured me that it's not my responsibility to change it. Now I just want to be a source of good wisdom where I can, and hopefully to live it for her too.

    I think she feels loved. She's only in grade 9 of highschool so I'm glad I have several years to be there for her. It's just weird feeling at the same time powerless and fearful, even when I should be grateful.
