Do you believe parents...

No i think there are still alot of parents out there that are still strict with there kids

Yes I think a lot of parents are too laid back. I also think that a lot are afraid to discipline their children, and by that I DON'T mean hitting them. Over the last 10 - 15 years it has become more difficult to act as a parent without someone else stepping in. I think it is possible to love your children and bring them up to know right from wrong and to respect ppl and things.

i belirve it

the prime duty of the parent is to correct their kids when they are wrong and appreciate when they are doing what they ought to do.Encouragement is also essential like punishments or scolding. Be dare to scold and give plenty of appraisal.

I believe many parents are lost when it comes to disciplining their kids.
If they spank them, it's abuse.
If they yell at them, it's abuse.
If they lock them in their room, it's neglect.
And, unfortunately, the only methods left don't work.

I think that there is a full spectrum of parenting out there. I think that there is probably more parental neglect these days than in the past - it can be so easy to sit a child in front of the television and go about your own business. I think there are also people who are going to the extreme of being a control freak about their kids to try to produce a super progeny. Then there are a lot of folks in between who are trying their best and doing better some days than others. I think regardless of our ages, we are all still kids inside, and some days are easier than others to make the pieces fit. I count myself in there. Some days it is really a struggle.

In my opinion from observations, I think that most parents are not laid back when it comes to their children. On the other hand, some parents seem not to care about their children and what happens to them.
About a month ago my son’s friend (a 9-year-old boy) was run over by a pick-up truck on the road. The little boy was about 2 miles away from his house. This is how they were because of lack of parental guidance.
The little boy died a few days later, God rest his soul.
We are NOT the types of parents that allow our kids to go to their friend’s house, call us Over protective or whatever, but we Love our Children and don’t want any harm to befall them.

Hmmm... Actually it depends from person to person.. Some are and some are not...Aneewayz... THanks for your question.... Its really nice to be here at mylot... are you guys here for money or just for fun....

I depends on the parents. We do not allow our children to eat or drink anywhere except at the kitchen table. We do not let our children watch mainstream tv. They watch the noggin channel, disney channel, pbs kids, and the like. They are 6 and 4. They do not use the words stupid, idiot, shut up, etc. They have never heard the word crap, until we mistakenly let them watch Jurassic Park recently.

I would probably be seen by many people to be "too laid back" with my kids. I believe in letting them have the freedom to make their own decisons and to learn from those decisons. I give them advice and guidance but do not control every aspect of their lives.
