A lot of parents I know are not giving concequences to there children. The kids are aloud to hit, bite, anything and the parents do not give any response to them at all. The kids decide their bed times.

Too many people are just too busy to take the time to properly discipline their children. I fully understand picking your battles...but there are serious consequences when you always give in to your child. Children need boundaries to learn respect. No matter how many other responsibilities you have, one should understand that your child and his growth as individual is your first and foremost responsibility.

Not all parents are doing this. There are parents who are child- centred in parenting. They do what you have observed. They have make their choices to let go of their parenting authorities earlier than the child can accept or have a conscious of know what is wrong and right. They will have to face the consequences of their choices through the future likely behaviour of their child.
However, I am sure there are lots more parents out there seeking wisdom to know how to parent a morally upright, others focused, loving and independent child. Their process of raising their child is not easy. It's just that we usually the the results and not knowing the process. The results of a " great, responsible , morally upright independent child" does not come from that "lucky" parent. Luck does not play a part here. It is time, effort and right attitude towards parenting that make them there.

I no longer work in schools but when I did there was a police officer in the high school as there is in most high schools today. After seeing the way children behaved I gave everyone of the teachers involved with my children the right to use corporal punishment, (in writing) There is something wrong with the children today. Check out the number of school shootings. Something needs to be done!

WE aren't doing that but the parents that choose to raise their children in this manner are at the heart of why our youth don't have morals or respect for themselves or anyone else. My belief is that the parents want to be their children's "friends" and not their parents, and it is easier to do nothing than it is to enforce discipline, not to mention society as a whole keeps telling parents that they will warp their children's minds by spanking or disciplining them, and no I am not talking about beating them but a spanking given with love is a lot different than just wailing on your child's behind out of anger. Just my opinion.

They are at work all the time and they feel guilty so they buy eveything in the store for their kids to make up not being there for them. Parents seem to think they should be their kid's friend instead of the parent and let their kids walk all over them. Your not allowed to hit your kid in the USA without some loser reporting you to CPS and being called a child abuser and then get your kids taken away and thrown in foster care.

Too many parents want to be their child's FRIEND. I'm personally not afraid to be the bad guy. My son is 6 and knows how to set the table, scrub a toilet, vaccuum and sweep. He likes to help out whenever possible.
I don't treat my children like slaves, but I know I didn't give birth to have a friend. I wanted to be a mother and I intend to be just that. Bedtimes, chores, homework, finishing your veg- we do it all and it's quite rewarding.

Nothing wrong with the child to decide her/his bedtime.But hitting and biting should be abandoned.If the child does so,according to his/her age,he/she has to be disciplined with a positive time-out or a talk.If he/she continues,parents should set limits and consequences.

That is why our world is falling apart. Crime rates up, lack of education, family's living under the poverty line, teen pregnancy, high std and HIV rates.
there is no respect with the younger generations!!! Lots of parents think of themselves first, and material things. Turn the TV off it shouldn't raise your child. Spend time with your kids and follow threw with routine, love, family time, discipline, and values. educate them raise them right

uWell I for one am not rearing mine that way.
Some people today are more concerned with big houses, money, status.
All a child is in need of is time.
But if they are in pre school, after school clubs, babysitters.
How can people instill good behavior in kids when they are never with them

I assume that you are not following the example of those "liberal" parents yourself. What is your experience?
