At home the farm boys learned how to farm, milk cows and such, and girls were taught cooking, washing and ironing clothes, and some, how to sew. We did these things by our Mothers giving us small portions of these things to do at a time. They are defiant of their parents and are ready to leave home if they can't have their way. If we as parents, don't take our God-given privilege and duty of instilling in our children, while they are small, the values they should know , we will be held accountable someday. We need to teach them to be truthful, thankful for all good things in life, to learn we can't have everything we want, that we must treat others with kindness, and more important they must learn to respect authority.
Parents are to have control over the children, rather than children have control over the parents.
We are not to control in an abusive way. If we show love and kindness to our children they will soon learn to know this is the way they are to act. Even with love we should discipline them and teach them how to act and what to expect when they are not under our care. We should warn them about unruly children, and about consequences when under peer pressure, they are tempted to give in to trying alcohol, drugs and premarital sex. Warn them about evil men and people, and about places they should not go.
