Some parents don't realize that after certain age, you have to start treating teens are pre-adults and not kids anymore. This depends on the kids maturity, but is generally around 13, 14 or 15.

It is not about do as I say, but do as I do. Lead by example and not by strength.

I build parenting-control systems (via DNS) and I often see parents trying to force it on older kids (and even college students) to try to control them. My response is that strict restrictions only work for younger kids that are not mature enough to make good decisions. As they get older, they will find a way to bypass them and will hate their parents for it.

I don't blame them as they generally want the best for their kids. Being a parent is not easy.

I think the software development field is still pretty new and evolving. Think about it, 25+ years ago very few people were hired straight as software developers.

Most came from other industries to capitalize in the market need.

It will likely change as the current generation that started as developers go to 40+ and continue in the field.
