I have a child, and honestly, I believe that if you are consistent enough with not letting them get away with negative behaviour, they won't behave in that way. If the parents let their kids behave badly and don't discipline them in any way, it is the parents fault.

I think their parents did not do a good job raising them. I think kids who are bad and don't behave properly are children whose parents allowed them to have too much freedom and babied them whenever they did anything wrong. If a child does something that is not accpetable, then they should be punished, rules are rules for a reason, and parents who take their children's disobedience and do not punish their child for his/her actions are only going to be dissapointed.

Children need to be given the proper guidance, instructions and knowledge in regards to how to behave in society. If children do something wrong parents need to teach them that what they are doing is wrong...if parents don't do that, then they are only making their children's life harder...because no one in the future wants to deal with someone who is a rude person or doesn't know how to give respect.

Furthermore, I think children, some children are bad because of their personality, some children just are born with tons of anger and frustration that is pent up in them that for whatever reason they take out on society...and in order to change that the parents need to pay attention to the child and figure out why the child is behaving like this and what can the parents do to change the child's behavior at an early age. If parents don't focus on the child then the parents won't know what to do when their kid does something worse that disrespecting them.

I think that many people have children and choose to placate them instead of parenting them. These are the people who have children that throw a tantrum for a candy at the grocery store and instead of disciplining them, they buy the candy to shut them up. There is a huge population of "parents" who would rather be "cool" and their child's friend than their parent. As a parent you need to be able to create a comfort zone where your children can tell you anything and at the same time be able to crack the whip when necessary. This takes alot of effort and many parents are so concerned with "keeping up with the Joneses" that they ignore the children's developmental needs. Our job isn't just providing food, shelter, and clothing. We are responsible for molding these children into productive, caring, thoughtful, hardworking individuals. It's hard work, and most treat their children like a piece of luggage toting them from caregiver to caregiver, instead of following through with the commitment that the children need.

It is the parents faults. If theyre young and the parent hasnt gained control then freak outburst of miss behavior will happen.
The parent has to establish their ground when they dont the children know they can do as they wish and act foolish.
I have the same situation in church, parents dont make them behave.

It's respect. The kids don't respect the parents, and the parents don't give them something to respect.

When you really seek the approval of those you respect, you act in ways that make them proud. The child should feel that what they do matters in the eyes of the parents and those around them. It is about 20% the child, and 80% the parents fault.

I think that the parent has lost control of the child and will suffer the consequences. It drives me crazy when you're out shopping and there's a screaming kid in the store. Many times I've just looked at the kid and shook my head no and they stopped, or I'll make funny faces at them until their giggling and forgot what they were crying for. I've never had that problem. I feel sorry for the parents that do.

I run a daycare...it drives me batty. More often than not, the parents have 5x more of a behavioral issue with their children than I do.


Which makes me think about this "time out" crap...how effective is a punishment that says...oh if you hit someone else or talk back or misbehave, you're gonna have to sit down? Oh no! Now that's scary stuff huh?

When I was a kid, if the worst punishment I had to face had been sitting in a chair...I'd have been completely out of control instead of just occassionally out of control.

Depends.. some children are a little extra spoiled or the child may have an underlying neurological disorder that the laymen might think the child is a brat and the parents do their best but the brain is not functioning correctly. If they are not your children. don't worry about them and focus on yourself.

I thinks its completely ridiculous when people dont get along with their parents. I never had that problem of fighting with them. You have to remember that when there's no one else, your parents are the ones that are always gonna be there for you. Your parents are the ones that raised you, they love you, and anything harsh they do is only out of love. Nobody would waste their time like that if they didnt care. Just live every day with them like its your last. You dont want to say hurtful thing that you might regret the next day if something happens to them. I love my parents! =)

they're brats and the parents need to instruct them on how to behave properly because otherwise no one will and in the long run those brats are going to face a lot of crap in their lives for not knowing how to behave properly with authority figures.
