how important this parental guidance to you? do you think,parental guidance should stop when the siblings reach the right age?and till what age should to stop it? this discussion is connected to the discussion i posted last day,about my cousin who had pregnant at the age of 14,her mother is in abroad to work and his father is in the Philippines but busy in is work,so the parental guidance for there siblings is minimal only,and maybe it's one of the cause why this happened to my cousin.parental guidance is very important to siblings but this is the one they dont have in their family.

Parental guidance, instruction, and protection is vitally important for all children at all ages. Our world is falling apart because our families are broken and battered constantly. Children have, thus, no moral compass. They are also rightfully angry at having to fend for themselves while their partents abandon their homes and duties and act like bratty, selfish children themselves, so self-absorbed and uncaring of their precious children. We're a world gone mad.

very important. however, youngsters or kids are smarter nowadays, all we have to do I guess is to discuss the pros and cons of every situation. It doesn't have to be a prodding to do something opposite to what they think, chances are, they become rebellious.

Parental guidance is very meaningful to me. I desperately need guidance from parents. Until when? I do not know. Forever, I will need guidance from parents. Currently, I am already married, and has one child. But the guidance of a parent, I still need.

I think that parental guidance is one of the most important gifts that we can give or receivee. the benefit that parental guidance can give to a child can be a rewarding experience to carry with you through the years/

Hi Asliah. I think that is the problem with a lot of children these days they don't have role models in their lives. I guess if I hadn't had such a mean mom I might have turned out pretty bad. I think that parents need to know where their children are at all the time and should know who they are hanging out with. If one of us had come home with this problem mom would have hurt us. I guess if mom was still alive I would call her and ask her for her advice and I am almost 60 years old.

very important because it will serve as the pathway of the child in living his/her life. that's why we have to show our parents that we love them and we cherish them.

Parental guidance should last for life. Life is very short and can get very complicated, it helps so much and saves so much time if somebody was there to tell us beforehand, rather than having to find out the long way round. I'm not saying that parents should spoonfeed their children hold their hands every step of the way. But some things you just have to be there to advise them, watch over them and teach them all things that they need to know. It makes life so much easier and it also helps to avoid a lot of painful heartache, mishaps or accidents. Yes, people have to learn by their mistakes. That's what a lot of people say, but with some mistakes you can never ever make. Otherwise, that's a whole life wasted...

Parental guidance never stops. That is something us parents do all through their lives. Yes, when they reach adulthood they make their own decisions, but we continue to guide them through life anyway. It's parental instinct. We all want the best for our children.
