I am tying to decide what is good or bad parenting.I have a five year old daughter who has a mindset of her own and people say that she is rude.But she wants to have her say like many kids her age.Someone said that this is bad parenting.Tell me friends what you consider bad parenting.

As long as the child isn't offending others with cussing or just general offensive statements (weight, looks, religion, financial status, race, creed, etc.), then I don't consider a kid who wants to have her say bad parenting. Kids don't realize at first that some comments can be offensive, but it's parents responsibility to teach their child what is right to say and what isn't.

Thank you.She has never been insultive.Its just that if you tell something like dont put your feet up on that chair she will respond with why,is it your chair or ours?Now mind you all kids like to have their way and they want to make decisions and be in charge which i think is normal.

That's when you tell her why you don't want her to put her feet on the chair like its rude to do that or she will get the chair dirty or whatever your reasons are...always give her a reason why you don't want her to do something when she questions you.

Is she rude or just does not give out pleasantries. Based on your other post I would say she is straight forward, not rude. "Why, is it your chair or ours?" Sounds like you have guests trying to tell your children what to do.

Children are overly curious, and that is very healthy for their development. I would encourage the curiosity, and try to show more pleasantries in life, children learn more from what they see then what they are told.

As long as your child is healthy and happy, it is good parenting. Cheers.
