Teens are old enough to know to do those things without reminding them. Little kids need to be reminded you dont really expect little kids to brush there teeth take a bath and go to bed on time without a parents telling them to do you?

I have 2 young boys and I'm strict with them for 2 basic reasons1)so that when they are teenagers they will have an idea of how to manage their lives and bodies. Whether it's remembering to brush their teeth or to get enough sleep inorder to wake up refreshed and ready to go to work or school. 2) It makes my life more managable when they have learned to take some responsibility for them selves. I think the people that you see not being strict with their teens either never were when they were little or simply gave up.

If you don't tell children to brush their teeth, take a shower, clean up after themselves, go to bed, etc. they won't do these things and won't learn to take care of themselves. Hopefully, you've taught them these things so that by the time they are teenagers they won't need to be told - however, I know teenagers that have never been taught when they were little and still need to be told. Now that's sad.

I f*cking hate out. i'm out rebelling reason of their stupid guidelines. I recommend, i bypass to activities, and they imagine i am going to get raped. for sure not. i'm a sensible drinker, I drink with moderation and administration. and they consistently inquire from me the position i'm going, etc, and say i can't have a boyfriend every time quickly. What takes position if I do finally end up having a boyfriend, how a lot they are going to freak! What am I meant to do then? in addition they are making me take freaking technology and math (which I hate) for something of highschool for me to be a doctor! physician isn't something i favor to do because which potential no social existence and its not something I savour doing. BQ2: i do not keep in thoughts, i'm a b*tch to my mothers and fathers because of their strictness at cases :O yet my pal once threw a vacuum at her mom...

I have two teenagers, one 15 1/2, the other 19, I still remind them of certain things. When they were younger, I was strict as reasonable with them because I didn't want them to end up on street corners, and cursing at me in public, or disrespecting themselves by doing stupid things to try to fit in with their peers who's parents didn't care. my main objective with my children was that they grow up to be respectable adults. I don't think I've done bad at all. I do still very much care what they do.

When our children are younger, we teach them the foundation of which they need to live healthy. When they get older into the teen years, they should already know this, and once they leave the home they wont have parents to tell them to brush their teeth, or take a shower. So we as parents need to know that the instructions we applied to the children as youngsters, stayed with them as teens, and will stay with them as adults.

You teach them while they are young so that when they are grown they can take care of matters themselves. Of course you have to tell a five year old to brush their teeth. Their maturity level is way lower than a teenager's.
And for the record, *I* will ALWAYS care what my children do for as long as they live and I will make sure they do right while they are under my roof.

You teach them to brush their teeth, shower and go to bed when they are little. Then when they are teenagers they should know how to do it for themselves, we must grow up eventually. Mommy isn't going to keep reminding you to brush your teeth when you are 80

Parents who are doing their jobs, will not allow bad behavior from their children. They do not allow the child to tell them what to do, nor to they allow the child to make decisions about behavior. Parents spank and scold early in life so that later in life they do not have a monster on their hands who just got his or her license. If you love a child, and want the best for them and want them to grow up to be respected, good people with respect for rules, then discipline is the only way to achieve that goal.

To look at this in a different light?
Imagine a child as an "unwritten book".
As this child grows up you and others are consistently writing pages into his or hers life. They learn from others from what they say & do and most of the time they react as to what they've seen in their lives from others. So it is very important that one starts out writting important information in this book so as they get older they will be able to grow into adults and strive to be better parents to their own someday.
