Parenting Ain't For Punks Tavis C Taylor

From nurturing your teens to making values clear, parents exert enormous influence over their children's development. It is especially important that parents give children a good start, but it's also important for parents to recognize that kids come into the world with their own temperaments, and it is the parents' job to provide an interface with the world that eventually prepares a child for complete independence. In a rapidly changing world, parenting seems subject to fads and changing styles, and parenting in some ways must compete with social media and its effect on their children. There is such a thing as over-parenting, and aiming for perfection in parenting might be a fool's mission.
