IMO.....The parents of today's children are the major cause of the problems with the moral standards of our society. Strict, but fair and consistent discipline is a must for children. They need the discipline to give them direction in life. "Time Out" must have come from the Democratics.....worst thing ever used to correct a child.
When wanting a child to do something [example: pick up your toys]......if your first responce was not obeyed. Give the child a choice: you pick it up now or I will put it away for a week. Or....pick it up now, or you will get spanked, not get to watch TV, use Phone or something similar. The child has to decide what to do.
A lot of children [young adults ?] have not been taught that it takes hard work and respect of others to "earn" the things that they want to have.
OK...enough for now.
