It is a game of chance for the "base" you have to work with. as a parent, you want the best for your child, no matter what. "Helping" them along implies malleablity whether we like to accept that or not. I don't say this to mean one should always be 100% in control of their child or their decisions. Some lessons are best learned by mistakes. I say this to get the point across that you are a parent and as a parent we have a role to play on our children's lives. which is largely centered around 'survivability '. The terms that make that factor up seem to always be changing.
