I told this just yetserday to my sister-in-law that she needed tough love...her 5 year old is MEAN. To me, it means to let no thought enter your head but to break a bad habit of your child's. Doing this means no feeling sorry for them or giving them a break till the lesson is learned. This harsh discipline is needed to ...protect,and better them. This tough love knows that after it is all said and done it HAD to be.Sometimes there is nothing else to do but have tough love ....without abuse,of course.
Me-Myself&I, i agree with your comments and realize that i must get a little more in control of my position as a parenting model, i have 3 grand childrens ages two 7 years old and 1, 3 years old. consquences and time out keep me busy explaining why the time out, by the time the time out is over i am just worse out, i use to try to keep them all 3 in one nite at once, it is just to much work, it's like i am losing the battle before the fight began, i know the bible said "spare the rod spoil the child", i try to get around paddling or any physical contrack with the childrens.
YOU know, MeMyself&I, i am just looking at this comment that i just post what do you see wrong with it. I just thank folk like you, you help bring thing to lite and that's good.
