One of the things I have always struggled with as a parent is how much of a right to privacy my children should have? With my children approaching young adulthood, that question is on my mind constantly. So I'd like to know what you think? How have you dealt with the following issues:
Do you think your teenager has a right to privacy?
Are there some things you believe that teenager should be able to keep private and some things that you as their parent should have a right to see?
Do you check their email – reading what they send and receive?
Do you check their list of visited sites on the Internet?
Do you have any parental control software on their computers?
Are your children allowed to use their computers alone in their rooms?
Do you feel as a parent you have a right to go through anything in your child’s room, school locker, school notebooks, etc?
Are your children allowed to use the phone in a private place in your house?
Does your child have a cell phone with no use restrictions?
Do you review a detailed bill of their cell phone usage?
Do you know all your child’s friends, or are they allowed to go to houses of people you have never met?
Have you met the parents of your child’s friends?
If your child drives, do you check the car’s odometer?
Does your child have a curfew, and consequences for missing that curfew?
Do you feel your are more strict or less strict as a parent than your parents were with you?
What is your biggest fear as it relates to you children?
