The Fourth Level of Disagreement - Parenting

Parents consistently overdoing or over functioning can lead to under-functioning children. Parents should be mindful about how often they do things for their kids, such as dressing and feeding them on their own. At age nine is when we really begin working on teaching responsibility for all of their things - putting clothes away at the end of each day,. folding laundry and cleaning up after themselves. When it comes to taking responsibility for their emotions and reacting to situations, these ages are great to talk about. The last few years between 16 and 18 are going to be crucial in preparing your child for adulthood.
