There are “Mommy blogs” and other trends that can confuse parents.
It sometimes seems that “Common Sense” is not so common.
I observe one worrying trend that will not prepare kids for life.
Today, we don’t want our kids to be disappointed!
So, we reward all kids win or lose.
These kids will be unprepared to deal with the many disappointments that are part of every life.
Other traits not being consistently addressed by parents:
DISCIPLINE-There must be rules and discipline for breaking those rules.
RIGHT & WRONG-There must be constant reinforcement of what is right & wrong.
POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT-Good behavior should be acknowledged.
PUNISHMENT-Punishment should be proportional to the offense.
HONESTY-You must tell the truth in order to set the right example for your kids.
STAND UP FOR YOUR VALUES-Don’t allow poor parenting by others influence you.
ALWAYS LOVE YOUR KIDS!-Your kids must always know you love them!
