Parents should monitor their behavior, know who their friends are, and keep track of what they do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Parents are trying to be friends with their kids rather than draw the line and tell them what proper public behavior would be.
I'm not a role model. I say parents should parent and monitor their kids.
Research shows that parents are the single biggest influence on children - if you are worried about your teen and drugs, talk to them.
Parents should talk to their children, even when they are babies and can't talk back.
Parents are supposed to instill a sense of right and wrong in their children and then keep up the due diligence necessary to make sure they don't veer off that path.
I remind everyone: Whether you school them at home or send them to school, you as a parent have the responsibility to make sure they learn and behave. Teachers and principals may help, but parents are the ones who must accept responsibility.
If parents don't like some of the stuff I do then they shouldn't let their kids watch me.
When you take the time to understand why your parents did the things they did, you stand a good chance of learning more about your own behavior.
Parents should watch what their children watch and not use TV as a babysitter. If a show is objectionable they should turn it OFF. They should write the president of the network and tell him they are never going to watch that program again and why.
A kid never listens to what his parents tell him to do. The parents actually act as an example of what their kids themselves do.
