A look inside Responsible children in today's world - a guide for parents
Parenting is a learned behavior (pg. 1)
In my work with some 2500 families, nearly all of the parents reported a number of undesirable forms of behavior in their children. Those problems include laziness, breath holding, nail biting, bedwetting, nose picking, thumb sucking, fighting, stealing, lying, masturbating, withdrawing, shyness, drugs, delinquency and many more. The parents further reported having mixed feelings about their children's behavior. Frequently parents reported feeling responsible for their annoying behavior but did not know what action to take. Often they tried a number of solutions none of which seemed to work for very long.
Often the manner in which the parent attempts to solve the problem becomes a problem in itself. Most parents vary in what we will tolerate in a way of bad behavior and what behavior we label as bad. Our attitudes often unexamined about the way children should be lead us to be angry, critical and frustrated. Beliefs about how children should behave influence how we behave toward our children.
