Raging teenage hormones leave most parents wringing their hands with worry, and parental control is threatened when peer pressure rises and family values are threatened. Previous methods of discipline become ineffective when dealing with a miniature adult who wants more control over the direction of their own life. Parents that experimented with sex in their teenage years may feel they cannot enforce values they did not adhere to themselves. Some parents feel that they had tyrants for parents and choose to allow their kids to do whatever makes them happy. Many parents reflectively wish they’d had stronger boundaries set by their parents, but do not know how to create them for their own children. This topic empowers parents to create strong family values in this area, and have high expectations for their kids no matter what they themselves did in their youth. It also gives advice to parents whose kids have already had a taste of the ‘wild side’.
