[QUOTE="helpmehelphim, post: 56110, member: 2650"] I don't think this is Allan's latest theory on child rearing at all. I understood him to be sharing an article with- the group. He didn't even say whether he agreed or disagreed but rather posted an article for discussion. Readers will draw their own conclusions...he didn't bias the readers by giving his. There's a lot in that article to think about. I was like Pamela. I can even remember my stepmother telling me how irritating it was to her that I didn't act like a child at 10 years old. I acted like a mini adult. We're all very different. I could be trusted and I did handle responsibility. I have no idea why that would be irritating to an adult but apparently it was. There are things I don't agree with in the article for sure and then there's a point that she makes that I think is spot on and that's looking at each individual teenager in their own light and going from there. There are SOME teens out there that are very, very capable and not only could handle more but want to handle more than they are given (I'm not talking about freedom here but being part of the decision making processes for their own lives).
