[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 283715, member: 1514"] I think that makes a lot of sense if you are talking about power struggles over fairly normal teen behaviors. Homework, cleaning their rooms, clothing, hair, choice of most friends, eating dinner with family...things like that. Now if you are talking about dangerous stuff like cutting school, criminal activity, drugs, hanging out with much older people, abuse, refusing to take medications...well...then I think we have to just be parents. My way or the highway. But I think if we let them have their say in the little things, it is easier to fight the big battles. [/QUOTE]
