RE: Hierarchy Between Children and Parents Disappearing
I think , since the means in which we discipline our children have changed...(most people don’t use any form of corporal punishment anymore) kids may feel as though their negative actions don’t really have heavy consequences. I don’t advocate corporal punishment at all. If we, as adults were to hit someone...we’d go to jail...so inflicting that on a child as punishment, seems hypocritical. I do however, think...parents in this day and age are almost afraid of disciplining their children. We don’t want the kids to feel bullied or to be scared of us. We want love...but we’re losing the respect that was given in previous generations.
Parenting is really hard, there is no one method since each child is different so while one way might work for one child that same way might push the other child away. I think there are ways to discipline children without hitting them, but at the same time you need to get creative.
I agree. I have one child who turns right around after we take away his privileges...and one who could care less! You definitely have to adapt with the personality of the child!
