    "That’s a tough question didn’t signify the ages of the children so parenting a day any age is different than the other age teenagers parenting in this area are you need to do is always communicate just like a relationship with a girlfriend or boyfriend if you don’t communicate with your son or daughter then you will have problems I don’t care what you do they need boundaries and they need to know positive reinforcement as far as when they’re young there’s no different to the tune of communicating giving them love by showing them how much you care giving up things that they see so that you could love them moreover "
