W: Henry, they say that adolescence is the time when people begin to get most pressure from their peers. Do you think that’s true?
M: What I’ve seen is that adolescence is the time when the pressure begins to shift from the family and the school to friends. I think it begins about eleven, but comes into full bloom at about thirteen, fourteen.
W: What actually happens then?
M: Well the first thing you see is that adolescents begin to make fashion statements. And certainly those ideas don’t come from you. You can tell at a glance that they don’t come from you! Like wearing baggy pants that look like they’re falling down, and, you know, piercing their ears. My younger son began to ask if he could dye his hair blue.
W: And what did you say?
M: We said when he was a little older he could make that decision, with the hope that that fad would have passed out of style.
W: OK, but where would you draw the line? I mean, you’d let him wear baggy pants, but would you let him dye his hair?
M: I think, in the end, I would. But not without a fight.
W: So, what other things happen?
M: Well, as the kids get older you start to lose them, because they’re always talking on the phone, or talking online, or doing other things. Twitter, facebook and so on. Even when they’re home — they’re in their room most of the time talking on the phone - and not just talking on the phone. They might be talking to one person on the phone and two other people online. And the only thing you know for sure is they’re not talking to you!
W: Do you think this is all normal behavior? I mean, should you be trying to monitor it?
M: I think both. It’s healthy to develop your own values, your own tastes. But I also think that parents should be monitoring it. When it’s a question of fashion, that’s OK. Where you draw the line is when they’re doing something dangerous, or illegal — drugs, smoking, drinking.
W: Is there any advice you could give parents?
M: Well, one thing is to think back to your own experience as a teenager. I must say I find myself repeating the same annoying language my father used with me. I have to try to remember not to do that.
W: So how you talk to your kids is important.
M: Yes, and it’s hard to watch your kids doing things you don’t want them to do. For example, my kids are into video games, and I can’t find any value whatsoever in these games. But I think that you don’t have to like everything your kids do. As long as it’s not dangerous or illegal.
