There is know need to spank a child, or hit him or her, talk to them. Listen to what they have to say. This needs to be done in the early years. Later on when this happens, hold your ground they will try everything to get you to give in. Most children will come to their parents first when they have a concern or question. What is funny at times are those children who are more mature than their parents. Not all children have a good start in life. Sorry to say they have to find their own way, in school, by another family. That is your role.

I am not my childs friend...I have the ultimate title, "Mom". My children are my greatest accomplishment in life
| I am a mother, wife, Work outside the home or not. The baker, cook, Takes you here and there. If it's withn walking distance, then start walking. Housekeeper, nurse, The meanie, the one who is cool then at times I am not because I won't let you watch movies that are not age appropriate, ha, ha I hold the remote so I can fast forward. I volunteer, the one who tucks you in at night. The one that will say; "This hurts me more than it does you". |
Ask these questions before your child leaves to go somewhere. If they are not mature enough to understand the questions, then perhaps they can stay home. Next time they might think before they say anything to you, also they should have all the answers before they ask you.
A parent who cares will break down the walls between the both of you for a better understanding what is causing the barrier...that is loveIf you can find a path with no obstacles,
it probably doesn't lead anywhere.
