This is what parents need to remember. Parents can only influence their kids up to a certain age; by the time they are teenagers, they are exposed to many temptations and have to say no for themselves. Lectures don't work that much; being too strict only feeds the desire to rebel. Parents can only arm their children the ability to make intelligent choices through critical thinking... You should do this now, when your words and actions still matter to your kids...=) a simple advice may have some big effect...=) HAPPY MY LOTTING!!!!

You are right. That is why it is important for us as parents to start arming our children early in life with the tools that they will need to make the most wise decisions that are possible. If we allow our children to have some freedom of choice while they are young, then when they are older they are more likely to make intelligent decisions because of the influence that we had on them when we were younger.
