Question For ALL Moms:
Given the last ten years of violence by school-age kids (at their own schools), and by this week's activity at Chesterfield High School here in SC, where a student was caught planning to bomb the school....let me pose this question:
How do you raise a kid today?
I'm 30. I definitely didn't have to worry about one of MY former classmates blowing up our school or going on a shooting spree in 3rd period Math class. So, obviously, times and the world have changed a bit. Do parenting strategies change with it?
Let me know your thoughts.

I think the problem is that parenting stratagies have changed and too many parents are stressed and overworked and think that they are done parenting when their child reaches middle school. I think that parents need to be aware of who their child is hanging out with, even to spending time with their friends parents so they know where there friends are coming from. I know I don't have teenagers yet, and my kids are not perfect, but children need to know what is expected of them and that there are real consequences to their actions.
