When she was younger she wanted to color her hair.. School didn't like it but as a blonde she looked good as a Red Head. The hair grows back so no big deal.. now she does it all the time.. except no blues and stuff unless it is that wash out in a few weeks stuff.
She wanted to wear make-up when she was 9 years old... ok no problem.. only at home and if I have to scrape it off your face with a puddie knife then it is gone... well that didn't last to long as she had moms permission LOL
So now she is 13 has colored her hair ( wants to grow it natural again), wears make-up now that she is in Jr. High, has to be in the house at 9:30pm ( generally in sooner). I try to give my daughter the freedom to make her own positive choices while she is still under my roof so that I can guide her.
Last night she went with 3 other friends to W.E.M. for a teenage thing that was going on there and wasn't home till almost one in the morning.. yes she had my permission.
Just little things I permit her to do when it is safe to do so. She knows the rules and the consequence for not obeying the rules.
I know that each child is different, but my question is... Now a days how much is to much freedom?
