obviously there isn't a sure fire way to know anything.  but I believe  that a kids life  will go in the direction they choose for it to go.  influencing it with love  and concern,  as the best of parents do, is important.  My mother talked to me about being conscious with my decisions,  and without her  loving concern and logical discipline, I wouldn't be honest with her and I probably  would have tried other drugs. if I can lead a  productive  life,  the leash loosens.  if grades slip or  stealing becomes an issue,  the noose tightens.  it's next to impossible to get a teenager to be completely honest,  but the closer you get the better. I think letting your kid chase the dream was the best thing to do, although admittedly ive never been a parent. I think that because  if they still want to chase that dream,  efforts to change the dream will likely be in vain.
