Ok, I might be worrying a little early (my kids are 3 and 5 yrs old) but I wonder how to parent kids when they get older
Because I know eventually the next step will be my older (and maybe younger too) kid will ask to sleep over at another kid’s house & after that who knows and the parenting tactics might fail with me because all of a sudden your kids are grown up (or think they are) and you can’t just hug them when they get a booboo or try to offer them your parental advice because they might think they’re old enough to be above it.
Anyways how do you think your parenting will change when your kids get older, or now that they actually *are* older? I am afraid that someday my kids will be too old to put them in timeout as a punishment for misbehaving and too old for me to just hug them and tell them an “ouchy” will go away.
So what do you do when your kids get older as far as parenting? I know we can’t stop time, but how does your parenting change as far as rules and such?

What is your opinion on this?
I notice that some of the people who hold themselves up as parenting experts aren’t actually parents themselves. For example, Gina Ford. There are also some people on Yahoo! Answers who regularly give detailed advice on subjects such as parenting and co-sleeping, but aren’t actually parents.
Do you have to be a parent to really understand these issues? Or is it possible to gain expertise through working with children alone?

i need the effects of authoritarian parenting style on children behaviour?like why they mis behave their behavioural problems…why they have change personalities?

Do children really live a horrible life in adoption homes? Are adoption centers crowded? and what happens to children if they are not adopted? do they still receive an adequate amount of education? and can a child succeed in life without being adopted? Generally, How is adoption?

Do you feel the need to teach, train and discipline your children? If so how do you do it? Did you learn your parenting style from our own parents or from some other source?

On Wednesdays on Fox 11 News a child in the foster care system is featured as available for adoption.
You can then go to the DCFS LA County Department of Human Services website and download a pdf on the child to pursue an adoption for him/her.http://dcfs.co.la.ca.us/adoptions/index.…
My question is:
What is your opinion on featuring children on television available for adoption?

I’m preparing a speech about adopting from foster care and can’t seem to find the information about how many children are legally free for adoption in the foster care system. Can anyone point me to the information? Thanks!
