In Reply to: In the end, as your child grows up he/she is - still going to make his/her own choices.

That is a lame way of parenting in my humble opinion. Teaching your child right from wrong and what God requires of us is not sheltering them. It is building character, a functional person that can add something to society, a God-fearing member of this world. Your attitude is exactly one of the reasons why our youth is the way they are today. I guess just anything goes these days.
