What is wrong with parenting skills today?
In general, my thoughts are this: I see so many parents trying to be friends with their children instead of parents. What they fail to realize is, when you stop parenting your children and only tell them what they want to hear, they get a skewed perception of the world. They often become “entitled” and have such an attitude. Stop trying to be friends, and PARENT THEM! Also, parents today want kids who will sit on their ass for hours on end and not let/make them play outside. Kids are SUPPOSED to be active. Kids who are active are considered ADD or ADHD. KIDS HAVE ENERGY. THEY PLAY. Get off your ass and parent them, don’t give them pill to supress themselves! Also, don’t be afraid of your children! You are bigger than them. You are older, and wiser (or at least you are supposed to be) you should be in charge of the situation, not them. You are put on this earth to show them how life works. They aren’t born with the answers. YOU have to show them. YOU have to teach them. They are CHILDRE
