9 Most Difficult Issues Facing Today's Parents

"The teen and pre-teen years can be a battle between kids and their parents. In reality, children want and need structure in their lives. Parents must set limits so kids learn their values and norms from them and not from some other outside influence," says Mark Kichler, president of KidsContracts, Inc.

After a great deal of research and years of trial and error with his own children and the children of friends and colleagues, Kichler formed a company dedicated to developing simple fill-in-the-blank "contracts". Each contract covers one of the 9 most difficult issues facing today's parents:

Driving
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco
School/Study/Grades
Allowance
Dating
Working/Jobs
Citizenship
Chores
Other (curfew, phone, computer, TV, weapons)

Kichler recommends parents sit down with their children, read each agreement and decide together
what the rules will be and what the consequences are if they are violated. Then, together the parents and kids sign and date the agreements. Kichler said, "this method of written contracts eliminates many future arguments and shows kids you love them and care."

At just $21.95 for the complete set of KidsContracts, parents can make an immediate and positive impact in their child's life. The contracts can be purchased and immediately downloaded online from www.kidscontracts.com.
