[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 216632, member: 6271"] Happy thanks givng compassion Mom: When we are taking our teens back in hand because they can not handle the respociblity of an adult we have to really think about how we are in this new relationship with them. I saw a piece on tv about the 16 year old brain and what parts are still developing. And where the growth between 16 and 25 in the brain is...I do not think human beings are so differant now as any other tiime in history. What is available to do, on the other hand, seems to tell all. The most challenging thing for me is how to direct their time. And I remember when I was the teen being aware that there is not enough for teenagers to do. I did quite a bit all together, but for this generation there is less oppertunity readily availble. Clearly you have to do something like what I have been which is tracking what is and with whom the teen is doing what. My son tells me that he is older and I have to be ready to give him freedom. I am hoping that in the next months he is going to understand better what I and alot of people who he will be in all types of relationships from work to personal do need much of the same from a possitive person. REspect,,responsibility,trutworthyness,courtesy, caring and fairness. I hope you hang in and make the day good and full of memory. [/QUOTE]
