I used what I called Amish grounding when they were teenagers. When they were in trouble they became Amish--no electricity, no vehicle, and chores deluxe. I always wanted to find an old Amish hat in a thrift store to make them wear. I like to say that raising teenagers was 50% love and 49% guerilla warfare and 1% yelling screaming and nashing of teeth--that was more me but sometimes them. We feel so blessed with the young adults we have in our life now. I enjoy taking a break and reading your blog. Enjoy those little boys, they grow up way too fast.

Many of their friends got whatever they wanted from the mall. Now that my kids are young adults, guess what? They work great jobs, budget their money and are totally successful and independent. I think you are doing a GREAT job here, and your son is learning a valuable lesson.

People will have a much easier time with their teens if they lay the groundwork before the young children become teens. Teens aren't always easy, but they certainly don't have to be spoiled brats.
