“I’m 18 now – You Can’t Tell Me What to Do!”

Hello beautiful parents 🥰❤️❤️❤️

Today’s post may not make sense to parents in Africa, however if you’re raising kids abroad, then today’s post may make sense to you.

As your teenager made the above statement before? . Well mine has!

I know some teenagers may not be bold enough to say those words to their parents, but I’m sure they would have said it with their behaviour. 

What do you do when they say this? Do you slap them or what do you do? 

At 18 most of them are even taller and bigger than you! 😄 . To avoid power struggles what should you do? 

When a child reaches the age of 18, he is now classified as an adult and you can’t really do anything much to them at this point. 

Dear parents, your relationship with your 18 year olds will be tested when they reach this age. 

I always tell parents that you won’t have to worry about your teenagers behaviour if you’ve put in the work when they were young, trust me.

Your Children will still listen to you even when they are older, it all depends on what you’ve sown early.

So if you’re a parent of young children please be intentional.
