I love your health and personal development opinions, but you should write a book on parenting! Thanks for your fantastic blog. I keep it on my RSS feed and look forward to each new posting.

I am a preschool teacher and I am stunned at the rudeness and things parents let their kids get away with. Guilty, that is what they feel for working and putting them in daycare so they give them whatever they want. Tragic.

Sadly I believe that too many parents are too concerned with being their kids 'friend' and are scared of their kids not liking them.
Parenting is about being a Parent, not a friend and sometimes that means not being liked very much.

Love this! Abusive little shits is right. We women deserve to be treated well by those that we choose to have around us and that includes our children. More of this from you, Susan, bravo!!!

I'm a middle-school teacher. If that incident happened in a classroom, you wouldn't believe the stuff parents will come up with to blame the teacher and defend their children! No accountability. No respect. Sad.

You are incredibly wise. You always hit the nail right on the head about everything |

My mother used to smirk at me for using words like "unacceptable" with my kids. Let me tell you, they learned the meaning of that "big" word real quick. They still screw up but I never shrug it off as them being just boys.

I could not have said it better! Who has lowered the standards with children to this point? 5 years old - there should NOT be a need to prompt! Abusive , disrespectful and Rude!

 Susan you are so correct, why are more people not willing to say what they feel. Too many parents let their kids be rude. STOP PARENTS! The lack of respect for adults started some time ago and continues today. It is not need in our world. |

I like the way you framed it in terms of how you let people treat you instead of in terms of how we're going to control the children. I don't think a lot of people understand that distinction.

My FIRST word - EXCUSE ME- Making eye contact with the child. I then would use the phrase "One Reminder", Is this how you were taught to behave? My eyes not moving, My body language will tell the child I AM SERIOUS.

Said child WILL respond correctly, I not only would have the 5yr old appologize to the 9 and make it right, they would also be Appologizing to the whole table for the rude interuption and selfish behaviour {This works when you are consisitent}

Mind you I also will say somehting to a child in a store that is acting up. I make eye contact with the parent, sympathetic smile, eye contact with the child as I say to the parent. You can call security and locked him up til your done. Works!

I get so sick of seeing parents, and I use that term loosely, trying to negotiate with their kids... hello people, who is in charge? These kids are someday going to be in positions over us when we are in the nursing home. do better, please...

When I was a kid that behaviour was not an option. My parents' authority and the line between right and wrong were CRYSTAL clear and there were HUGE consequences for acting inappropriately. Plus, kids feel secure when they have clear boundaries.

Well said.
I also had kids in the early 80's. They are considered to be waaayy more polite than the average young person. The scary part of this are the 'rude' people having kids now--it's only going to get worse unless someone teaches manners. |
