It is simply about exposing them to what is right (as you know it). The language that you use is important and the example you set before them.

You can not set your self to being their friend. You are the parent and there will be lots of time where they will not only disagree with your decisions but want to strangle you.

I told mine face to face often that if they ended up hating me that I was gonna do what needed to be done as a parent no matter.

I have one in prison now but he has thanked me for what I told him and admitted that had he listened and obeyed that his life would be different.

They are bombarded with outside influenced today.
