[cool][#0000ff]Hey Mel, you got a new BFT name. Hope it fits you well.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You got it right. Zonker got it right. The best we can hope for as parents is to guide our younguns into making more right decisions than wrong ones. We have all seen cases where kids went "off the deep end" just to spite over-controlling parents, who would not allow them any leeway.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]One of my favorite sayings is that "If you have 4 kids, and you treat them all the same, you are treating at least three of them wrong...if not all 4." Kids are individuals and with all of the outside influences and stimuli from TV and the Internet today, it is amazing that so many kids actually survive and turn out okay. [/#0000ff]
