I admire those family whose children are well behave and closed to each and respect their parent. We failed miserably as parent but that is not what we want. Has anyone got this problem? Could anyone help me how to tackle this issue. Thank you  |
I think some people have said what i wanted to say but i'll repeat it anyway. It's perfectly normal for siblings to fight eachother. I have 3 older brothers. Up until the age of 14 i was in a fight with them every single day. But i still love them to peace and i would neve disrespect them now that i'm older.
Also, i'd like to add that, it is not normal for your kids not to listen to you. Sure they will always make mistakes, but you definately need to put them in their place... i know a lot of people are against slapping your child on the buttox or whatever, BUT it bloodly works. I remember me, i was a little devil, i always done things wrong. First it was "THE EYE". My mum would show me a huge eye and an angry face and i'd just know. I knew that if i carried on, i'd get a slap! IF i ever went worse than that (only happened once in my life), she'd get my dad on me! Now my dad had a different technique... there was no warning, he'd seem all kind and talking to me etc, then BANG, lol the finally that would put me in my place for good!
Now, i'm not saying you should take up this technique of disciplining your children, but you definately need to put them in their place. Think is, if they don't listen to simple rules that you set, then how will they ever follow the law? An undisciplined child is just a future criminal in my eyes. Children need to know what is right and what is wrong!
One last thing, Don't compare to other families. you'll never get anything good out of it!
