Dear Hubbie,
Our kids WILL do stupid things and make bad decisions (even "good" kids do once or twice). Sometimes they may need to be punished, but other times we should just leave them on their own to understand the mistake(s) they have made. By the time they are in high school, they will still be under our roof, but need to be given the chance to start learning on their own. By college, they should be old enough to make decisions for themselves. By laying a steady ground foundation while they are young, we should trust the fact that they will be have a good head on their feet and be able to make decent decisions later in life. In the event they do make a small mistake, it will no longer be a result of bad parenting, but rather serve as a learning process.
Love, Me
