Deep dives
Parenting with Clear Expectations
In our household, we established clear expectations and boundaries with our kids regarding technology and personal spaces. Instead of giving them ownership of a phone or a room, we emphasized that these were privileges we provided them with. This approach allowed us to maintain a level of access and inspection if needed, without the sense of invasion. We also managed their media intake during their formative years by controlling what they watched and exposing them to positive influences. By homeschooling, we could guide their learning and shield them from negative influences in traditional school settings. Trust, communication, and teaching them about objective right and wrong were also essential factors in raising responsible and honest kids.
