Should Parents Set Rules For Teen Dating? The problem with teens dating and not having any supervision is that things will happen and the parents won’t know how to help them because they are not involved with it. If the parent wants to help, they can’t because the child didn’t tell them anything about their date. People should be allowed to date but under supervision and rules because you never know what can happen to them, or for any reason. First of all I think that relationships should be monitored and watched closely with the permission of the couple. Teens should have rules on how they plan to go on a date, who they go out with and they should be conscious that people are monitoring them. One thing that might happen to kids who have strict parents is something that Clark said “Parents who ban relationships for their children create children who are probably going to be liar,” that shows that couples should be allowed to date but under certain circumstances by the parents. When it comes down to a long relationship of …show more content…
There are some cases where the parents doesn’t put enough surveillance and they end up with a baby on their hands. Other times the parents put too much supervision and then the couple starts to lie about what they are going to do so that the parents don’t know about it. Many things can go wrong with long term relationships like, too much supervision, too little supervision, liars, cheaters, babies, and more things that can go wrong because the couple feels strongly about who they are. Anyways, parents should most likely go for the approach of telling their child to date light-heartedly and not take the relationship too hard on themselves. If they do then the child will most likely be very sad and angry at the other

    I think that something a lot of ex-Mormons struggle with is realizing that yes, the LDS church can do some good. No organization is entirely good or entirely bad. And while I'm not going to be running to rejoin the church, its welfare model - which is community oriented and offers a strong sense of accountability - is worth looking at. Beyond that, a lot of what McArdle gets right are uncomfortable topics that people wish to avoid, as discussing them can get one labeled misogynist or racist.…

    Until we live in a culture that not only respects but also upholds basic civil rights for children, most children will not know love” (hooks 5). With this respect, we ask how long should the parent have this control of the child. As a child growing up, aspects of my life being controlled included my behavior when necessary, how I treated others, and respect, along with many others. Parents should have this control until the child reaches a certain age or until the parent sees fit because most of what the parent has gone through in their own life, their child will soon encounter. Some of the advice and control is to hopefully start a good path for the child’s life.…

    Vincent (2012), said that “the hookup culture has been a source of great anxiety for parents, who worry about the effects on their kids as they move from campus antics to working world and family life” (p. 2). It is not possible to avoid all things that causes anxiety, because it is part of our daily and basic lifestyles as human being; parents instincts are to be protectively of their children regardless their age. They fear that a broken heart may cause their child or a narrow plan to not only lose hope in what is it to have a significant other like they do, but could also affect their ability to concentrate and stay focus. I think it is okay parents to allow their children especially young adults like universities for example to be worried,…

    According to Coleman and Karraker (1997), parental self-efficacy beliefs embody how parents perceive themselves as capable of performing the different tasks associated with the demands of parenthood. Many parents want to talk to their children about sex but do not feel that they have the skills or efficacy to do so (Afifi, Joseph, & Aldeis, 2008). Foster parents often have little knowledge of what their foster youth’s experiences were regarding sexuality and sexual coercion and are uninformed about what sexual knowledge or education their youth had previously (Doolittle, 2013). Another question then becomes when it is an appropriate time to discuss reproductive health if at all. Further research needs to be conducted to analyze caregivers’…
