As a parent you don't need their "blessing" ... stop acting like the children are in charge, you are responsible for them

As a 17 year old I can assure you that being overprotective instead of understanding breeds sneaky kids who are good at acting innocent

As a former 17 year old and a parent to four children, try again....

How do you know your kids are bieng honest? Parents always think they know until external forces show them they don't. But do you
-
If you allow your kids to see that lying can get you in trouble, they'd be motivated to be honest. Just telling the truth has a better end.

As long as I am responsible for a teenagers actions, I am in the "driver seat" , not the child. Come back when you're responsible for kids

I think they titled it wrong should have been "Parents, how to give your child permanent trust issues, and make them want to hide things."

Parents, NO to spying! “When parents engage in behaviors that teenagers see as privacy invasions, it backfires...”http://tinyurl.com/y8bwkxfp

Not that simple Robin. The answer is Yes and No. As a parent, one has to be well enough engaged that you dont have to spy & TRUST is mutual

For those kids that are intent on following a path of self destruction, spying might be necessary. Make no mistake, trust has to be earned.

Earn trust by... spying on them. okay

Your missing the point. Some kids follow destructive path regardless of guidence/love. How many children have you actually raised?
