To be a "hands-on" parent, at least 10 of the following 12 must be true.
You must:
+Monitor what your kids are watching on TV.
+Monitor their use of the Internet.
+Put restrictions on CDs they buy.
+Know where your kids are after school and during weekends.
+Be told the truth about your teenager's whereabouts.
+Be aware of your teenager's academic performance.
+Impose a curfew.
+Make it clear that you would be ''extremely upset'' if your teen used Marijuana .
+Eat dinner with your teen six or seven nights a week.
+Turn the TV off during dinner.
+Assign regular chores for your teen.
+Have an adult present when the teen comes home from school
...Oh yeah, and don't forget to beat them each week. If you don't know why, they do.
