We are really close and can talk about anything. But I know there is a possibility that she will grow out of being mummy's girl once she steps into her teen years. I don't want to think about it now.Bkwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16230980046271675961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29911725.post-87596380507521261132007-07-03T17:10:00.000+08:002007-07-03T17:10:00.000+08:00Dolphine,I imagine it too like you.

I think by the time we have to deal with teenage problems like boyfriends, use of internet, phone, going out late etc, we'd probably be nagging and scolding instead of sitting down and chatting like a friend.

I always dream about it even before I was pregnant with my daughter.<BR/><BR/>But I know to do achieve is not that easy.<BR/><BR/>And I guess it's the way parents communicate with their children.<BR/><BR/>Just have to be open to their ideas and opinions. And shouldn't sound like we, parents are older and more experienced, so we know better than our children, so they should listen, when giving them advices.<BR/><BR/>Maybe by telling stories(of our younger days, and other interesting ones)and reasoning will help, and try to relate to them and give them space to think and figure out.<BR/><BR/>Or sometimes even have to repackage our advices to what the children like to hear. And sell it to them.<BR/><BR/>Seriously I still don't know how will I tackle this issue until I actually come to the point.dolphinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089261714544879854noreply@blogger.com
