I speak as a parent who raised 2 kids. We monitored every activity. The kids thought we were overly protective at the time. But now that they have grown up into adulthood, they both thank us for enforcing rules and disciple. Both are doing great in their careers now.
I congratulate you. I was raised the same way that your kids were, and I am also grateful for it. It kept me out of a lot of trouble.
Unfortunately, we have many, many kids who aren’t ‘monitored’ at all; many who have been given no moral guidance; many who haven’t been taught how to think and choose wisely.
Suggesting to them that using ‘recreational’ drugs is ‘OK’ - because it’s legal, and adults do it - is only encouraging them to think that it’s harmless to indulge. They will find ways to do so, and plenty of unscrupulous adults will be happy to help them.
Good for you. Im an old man with young kids and I worry daily about mine.
