A parent does not have to respond in a mean, angry way for a
child to learn. When we yell, scream,
belittle, or hit, the child learns that adults can be mean and abusive. Parents are role models. Children are
watching and learning. When a child does
do something that is bad, a response is necessary but we don’t have to lose
it. The response should be reasonable,
related to the bad behavior and respectful.
We don’t have to disrespect kids in order for them to learn good
behavior.
