Question: How should a mother deal with a growing son who is in his teenage?

Jayapataka Swami: Canakya Pandit, he said that for the first five years, you should let the kids do whatever they want, more or less. From 6 to 15 be very strict with the children. And 16 up, be like a friend and try to convince them the right thing to do, but as a friend. That is what Canakya Pandit said. But, you can talk to the Youth Minister in Mayapur, he may have more experience, you can talk to him, Manoram das.
