We want kids to do the right thing, but the reason they choose the right thing is equally important. Parents biggest concern is that they re not sure about what they re doing and feel overwhelmed by the job. Part of what we sometimes forget is that kids are inconvenient. If you want life to be easy, don t have kids, because they will become another burden. Some experts suggest we tend to worry about losing our child s friendship, so we back off on disciplining.
Parents don t want to take an authoritative or leadership role.
But we must recognize that our kids don t need more friends, they can make friends. They need parents who will draw the line, who will set limits. If you act with respect and justice with your kids best interests at heart he will love you and behave for you. Most of us are decent parents until we get angry. We are so harried and hurried that we arrive home ready to burst.
