asÂ* a parent myself,Â* lettingÂ* go isÂ* not a matter of age or maturity, it is a matter ofÂ* respect andÂ* trust that you haveÂ* for your kids.Â* Â*ifÂ* you trustÂ* theirÂ* decisions inÂ* such earlyÂ* age, you help them develop aÂ* goodÂ* selfÂ* esteem and self worth.Â* you mayÂ* notÂ* like their tastes and the Â* thingsÂ* that they do butÂ* you canÂ* respectÂ* theÂ* person that they become.Â* but you also haveÂ* to setÂ* limits andÂ* that there are consequencesÂ* when those limitsÂ* areÂ* tested andÂ* that you meantÂ* it.Â* kids don'tÂ* haveÂ* to beÂ* outÂ* of theÂ* house forÂ* parentsÂ* to let them go.Â* andÂ* when timeÂ* comes that they decided to be on their own then they knowÂ* that you have faith in them asÂ* a person ,Â* that they can come to you whateverÂ* happens withoutÂ* you judgingÂ* them.Â* let them liveÂ* their life the way they want it, afterÂ* all it'sÂ* theirÂ* life.Â* just beÂ* there when they need you.
i don'tÂ* believe that you haveÂ* to makeÂ* kids experience financial hardships for them to know howÂ* it is.Â* Â* instead teach them howÂ* to earn it, that they have to work for it not just take it, and that thereÂ* are thingsÂ* they canÂ* do to make money.
i grow up in poverty andÂ* i don'tÂ* want my kidÂ* to experience what i haveÂ* been through asÂ* a kid, neverÂ* ever if i can help it.Â* but that does notÂ* meanÂ* that everythingÂ* isÂ* easy for him.Â*there'sÂ* a lotÂ* of things a parentÂ* can do without making the kid go though it. talk to them aboutÂ* yourÂ* experiences, teach them howÂ* to appreciateÂ* what they have, teach them howÂ* to share. keep educatingÂ* them aboutÂ* it.
it'sÂ* easy for people to say do this orÂ* don'tÂ* do that to your kids when they are notÂ* a parentÂ* themselves.Â* beÂ* a parent first then you knowÂ* what areÂ* theÂ* do's andÂ* don'ts,Â* and it's not the one's Â* that youÂ* thought they are or the one's that you read in books.
as for my son,Â* he's most likely to move outÂ* at 18Â* to go college sinceÂ* weÂ* are in theÂ* states.Â* butÂ* not for good yet sinceÂ* weÂ* probablyÂ* still help him until he'sÂ* done.Â*
