This can be accomplished by taking control of your life and changing the way you are handling the situation. Sometimes people will look at a child who is giving problems at school and then take a look at the parents and say something to the effect that well what else would you expect from those parents, you don't want to be one of those parents they speak about at all, now do you, no you don't. As we know each child is unique, naturally a parent has to deal each child sometimes in a different manner. Some children just respond to discipline and accept it, others do not. Children who don't respond easily to discipline put a lot of stress on a parent as well know already.
Parents actually have a great deal of influence on a child's behavior, lots and lots.
Experts have found that children with behavior problems and conduct problems usually have parents who have ineffective discipline techniques. When we show respect for our children and demand respect for ourselves we are building self esteem. We also need to praise our children when they obey the rules we set forth for them. We don't need to be negative all the time. Love can change our lives and our children's lives and effective parenting by setting strict and firm limits and enforcing can make a difference in your child's adult life, always remember that.
