was your husband firm with your son too. I think men will always have a soft spot for little girls (no matter how big they get). Your husband might not be aware that you think that your daughter is struggling. Each parent gives something different to each child. If he wants to be easy (and was easy on your son) maybe that is just his nature. Continue to do what you think is best but most of all dont let it come between YOUR relationship with each other (you and your husband). After your kids our out of the house you will only have each other anyway so try to excuse him, after all he is a man they are ALL suckers for a cute girl with a smile!

Firm but fair. A child needs boundaries, expectations and rules so that he/she can learn right from wrong. A parent's first instinct after love is to protect their child. I believe a firm but fair approach coupled with open communication (so the child knows why he/she is right/wrong) and common sense is a successful formula for raising a child.

As a 15-year-old, I hate when my parents are firm, but i appreciate it. As much as i hate it, i know it will keep me ou of trouble in the long run. I'd say be firm, but give them a little more freedom every time if nothing goes wrong. Stay close to your child, and they will tell you more. Assure them that you are not going to punish as badly them if they did something wrong and they tell you before you find out. But, follow through with this. The most annoying thing is when i parent says something and doesn't follow through with it. Think back to your childhood and learn from your mistakes.

Be firm on some issues and easy on the others. Sit down and talk with your husband about which things should be major issues and which things are not.

I think firm is a better way.Firm does not equal "mean or abusive".When kids have firmly established rules they know where they stand and are able to respect them.If you are lax in disciplining they will always test the waters to see how far they can get with you.

A lot of people who are "easy" on their kids are also inconsistent with their discipline (if there is any). Firm doesn't mean strict or harsh.
