When kids are given choices It's typical for parents today to offer children choices for gaining cooperation. When dressing your preschooler, you know that if you offer a choice between the Little Mermaid and Pocahontas dress, your daughter will probably be more eager to jump into her clothes and head out the door. The choice provides incentive to comply. While most parents share similar goals and values for their children, how they reach these goals is often a source of conflict in marriages. It should not be to compete, leaving children to side with Mom or Dad.
Teens are all that.
Known as Generation Y, teens are pushing aside baby boomers and emerging as the new kings of cool. Signs of the teen takeover are everywhere. In pop music, teen faves such as 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys rule the charts. Hockey has always been one rough pursuit. The irony was tragic.
