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 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 Best Cure For Bullies posted by UNKNOWN Posted on Mon Sep 24, 2007 15:49:50 The school year is under way for a couple of weeks, and I am sure bullies are out in abundance. Where there is a scared kid with little confidence there will be a bully, ready to destroy that person. As a parent, you ask what can be done? Does one phsically fight back or use wise words to attack? What is the solution to this problem which has always excisted from the beginning of time? I was personally attacked by bullies when I was a kid in the 60's and so have my three children more recently. I have found from personal experience that the best strategy to fight off bullies is to show a tremendous amount of inner calm and self-confidence. You will emanate a glow of strength and this will discourage them from going further. Use positive self-talk and develop a talent to help increase your inner confidence. I truly believe this will work. Try it and let me know. 0 comments--Add comment See More : 1 2 >>	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
