Cohousing-L Mailing List: Kids and adult boundaries

[Rob Sandelin (Floriferous]

One of the things you have begun to discover is that some adults do not 
necessarily want to be involved with kids, or may not do so how you, the 
parent, want them to. This is a great area of potential conflict and something 
to be proactive about. First you should be proactive with your kids, telling 
them clearly what your expectations are. Second you need to let everybody 
know, what your expectations are.  For instance, its common for kids to go 
over and watch movies at each others houses. My kids have limits to what they 
are allowed to watch and other parents and adults know this, so do my kids.
