Family diversities

As your children get older and make a request you’re not sure about, you can postpone a decision with ‘I need to think about this’ or ‘Your Mum and I need to talk about this’. There will come a time when children and teenagers need to make their own choice on some issues. If you have managed to discuss and reason your way through parenting problems together, there’s a good chance your children will learn from your example. They will acquire the knack of putting their point of view, coping with different opinions and arriving at an acceptable compromise.
