Who Is The Boss? posted by UNKNOWN Posted on Wed Feb 20, 2008 16:56:24 Who is the boss in your house , your children or are you the boss? I feel so much tension occurs because parents allow their children to assume the parent role because we want to be our children's "friend." We need to remember that we are the parent and must always be the parent in the relationship. We must show kindness but firmness. As parents, we need to set limits for our children and make sure they know the consequences for bad behavior. If we show our children that we are in charge and that we deserve respect everyone will be happier for it. Kids need us to be the parent. Friends they have in their life. Follow this and you will see a less stressed household. 0 comments--Add comment Change Negative Behavior posted by UNKNOWN Posted on Fri Feb 01, 2008 09:15:49 Kids today are getting away with bad behavior and treating their parents with less respect then years ago. Many kids treat their parents as friends and not as authority figures. This needs to stop to increase the respect from children. Parents need to set limits for their children and enforce them when rules are broken. Parents need to say no more and stand up to their children with confidence. If parents appear less confident then childen will see this and take advantage of them. It is a difficult chain to break but one that needs to be broken, if there is to be harmony among parents and children. Everyone will be happier in the end. 0 comments--Add comment Start With Respect posted by UNKNOWN Posted on Wed Dec 12, 2007 09:28:53 So many parents are talking about the loss of respect among their children. More kids are talking back and treating parents as peers. There is an epidemic of rolling the eyes among children. We all have seen this. Much of the cause , I believe rests with the parents. Many parents today are trying to maintain a "friendship" relationship with their children. STOP THIS RIGHT AWAY. Set limits and rules of behavior. Reprimand bad behavior immediately. Lay out ahead of time the rules and consequences of bad behavior. The sooner you do this the better you will be. Make your children do chores around the house without a reward. This teaches responsibility and develops self-confidence. Parents must start to say "no" more often to the material demands of their kids and demand more of their child. All this will be hard but you will reap the benefits in the future. Take care. 1 comments--Add comment See More : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 >>	Programs * I Can Achieve Goals * I Can Be Grateful * I Can Be Happy * I Can Be Healthy Through Exercise * I Can Be Positive * I Can Feel Special * I Can Handle Difficult People * I Can Learn From My Mistakes * I Can Relax * I Can Understand My Feelings
