The mistake that Sharon and I both made is we never set any boundaries.  (Ozzy Osbourne)

Good parenting requires sacrifice. Childhood lasts for only a few brief years , but it should be given priority while it is passing before your eyes

"Parents aren't the cause of ADHD, but they are part of the solution." (Kenny Handleman, M.D.)

Research on Teens

 

 

Reginald Bibby concludes from his research that I reported in my previous blog that:

1. The values deemed “most important” by adult Canadians are mirrored by a solid majority of young people.

2. Canadian teens tend to hold essentially the same views as canadian adkults about core values.

3. Teen outlook is remarkably similar to adults.

4. The idea that there is a wide generation gap between the majority of teens and their parents is a myth.
