Well, Berurah, I think a lot of the issues kids have come from their genetic makeup. I was NOT a compliant teen- when I was growing up life wasn’t as dangerous,but I did the usual drinking, sneaking out to meet boys, fast driving etc. I pushed the limits and I think I have gotten paid back! Sounds like your kids may have compliant personalities. That could make raising them a lot easier than if they were hell-raisers. I have made a lot of parenting mistakes and I hope I have modeled some good traits for my kids as well. I certainly know that there is no foolproof way to turn out emotionally healthy and safe kids. Glad your way worked for you!
