Are You A Good Role Model?
We recently renovated our house, giving our girls new ways to test authority. Just minutes after we moved back in, Lucy, 4, was sliding down the early-1900s banister, while Olivia, 9, headed to our pristine family room carrying a bag of Goldfish crackers and dropping crumbs along the way.

No one would really like to admit they were a bad parent i do feel in todays society more parents are too laid back where our parents were a bit more strict. ex: not my child! my child would never do that! parents fighting in defense and denial of things their children do. Children do learn this is how it is and get away with more than they should. In my day if I would have did some of the things I have seen other children do today, my parents would have said take her to jail, give her punish work, suspend her, etc. This is just from observance and not saying I never said not my child, I honestly didn't always believe them when they said they didn't (especially one child of mine) but sometimes they were right and the adult was wrong but I had to have proof before jumping to conclusions of defending. |

My children were taught to respect adults. In the classroom, they must abide by the rules, it was not always someone else's fault. I must say, my child never got in trouble at school. He saved his bad behavior for home. When he would come home griping about a teacher or principal's behavior, I never agreed. I would tell him it is the teacher's class or prinicipal's school and he must abide by the rules. Sometimes I agreed with him, but I never let him know that. My other child is disabled, so we had different circumstances with him.
I feel I was a good role model because I practiced what I preached. |
