Give Children Freedom?

Mom says, "She wasn't doing well in school, but I didn't nag her about it. I didn't make demands....I never criticized her friends...I gave her freedom." Do you think Mom's ideas are right? What does a child need from a parent? (Student ID)

  1. Mom is not completely right because i was 14 one day,and like Jamee i tried to reveal against to my parents,and do good and bad stuff like any teenagers.But my mom most of the time was there to look out for me, and she taught me that she loves me and because of that she wouldn't let me do things that for me was amazing but dangerous at the same time,so believed that parents have to be strict and don't let their children, or make there they're cool because they allowed them to do whatever.(996864)

  2. Mom was doing wrong, even though she was busy at work and tired, she should take care of her daughter advising and correcting her attitudes, because Jamee was involved with gangs, drugs and was being dominated by her boyfriend Bob.

  3. Well from where I stand mom's ideas were not that bad. But we need to give kids the atension they need. Children are emotnal and they need someone to talk to about what's happening in their life.If mom had sat and talked with Jemee she had not runawayso. This tells us that comincation is the key of a good life and that we should use it every day. T#S

  4. Sometimes children have to grow up by themselves. On this case, Mom is doing the best to support her family. Without much time to be with Darcy and Jamee, Mom is losing many things about these two girls. I think a little bit more time to share should be fine between Mom and her children.J.R.M.L.

  5. We know from the book that Mom never had time for her children,since father had left the house.But at the same time we can see that one of her kids(Darcy) is mature enough to realize where is bad,where is good.The other daughter is grown up also,but she been hurt so much,that's why she is looking for some support by messing with older kid.I think that Mom is doing right,because you can not protect your child from all troubles and hurts.Person has to discover by himself where is wrong,where is right.

  7. The idea of mom giving freedom to her child is wrong in some point. Kids deserve some freedom but not being unattended. They need their space, but they need someone who can be there for them. Pay attencion to them, give the love. and most important talk to them and show how much you love them. (997194)

  8. I think mom's ideas are not right. Jamee is only 14 years old. Her mom has to be aware of what Jamee is doing. She has to have rules that Jamee has to follow.

  9. In my opinion she is wrong because Jamee is very goung and at those age the parents must have to give advices to them because they are not grow enough to notice what is wrong, good at same. when the kids are grew parents should not be near them all the time because they know what are they doing. Also they had been facing some bad experiences.963979
