Last Friday she was sent to the office to talk with the principal about the things she does and say that could possibly get her in trouble bc it comes out as being a smart aleck. The principal contacted me with this information also but never once said anything about the counselor speaking with my daughter as well. So the counselor prints this exact blog out and some other things gives them to my 9 year old to bring home to me. And tells my daughter to give them to me or her grandmother bc these are somethings that could help in raising her. I was highly offended by it all facts being she's not a teenager, I lead by example only thing is she lives in a single parent home makes straight A's. We're active in church and all in all she's a good kid. I'm just confused on why she was giving me this information.

Change really start in them, and it will eventually reach their children.<br /><br />That parents should talk about their own mistakes is a good point. Sometimes parents will say that it was different in their case, which does not make any sense. Like my dad when he used to smoke and tell my brother to stay away from smoking. The famous "do what I say and not what I do" speech. Thank God none of them smoke now. But I noticed that parents like to expect from their children what they do not do themselves. They will hide their faults and be intolerant with their children when they need to talk.<br /><br />Sulma's and Maritza's stories are very helpful too. I learned very much from reading them.Divyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14163431659029283681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719233744423338345.post-91476879480977398512010-02-12T07:49:40.994-08:002010-02-12T07:49:40.994-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706341292870359509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719233744423338345.post-54149274807481440482010-02-12T07:48:07.771-08:002010-02-12T07:48:07.771-08:00This is so true.

Knowing that we don't have all the answers we have read books, researched online for expert opinions. One website that I came across recently was Parenting Powers by Susan Epstein. She actually has a FREE teleseminar coming up this week on this exact topic. She also has a bunch of information on her site for parents with kids of all ages. For all you parents with teens, she has just about every topic covered. Her website is www.parentingpowers.com/memberUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706341292870359509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719233744423338345.post-55120298652583316672010-02-09T18:47:31.293-08:002010-02-09T18:47:31.293-08:00Mrs Evelyn, not only is everything that you said t...Mrs Evelyn, not only is everything that you said true but I can relate to it. <br /><br />I was extremely rebellious with my mother and often times very disrespectful. Obviously my problem went way deeper than what was visible. But, like you mentioned, I was looking for that strong parent figure who would lay down the law for me, regardless of the situation.<br /><br />I ultimately was looking for a fatherly figure. Since my mom wasn't with me for long periods throughout the day, and I didn't have a father, I turned towards rebellious attitudes. For me there existed no such thing as an "authority figure," for I never saw it at home. <br /><br />It was hard for me to obey teachers because I didn't even obey my own mother. But, I can see what your saying by rebuking a child when he's young. There are better chances for that child to grow up with good manners and so forth... If you try to teach them 'respect' later on in life, its merely impossible, because they already have a mind that is set up. <br /><br />I makes me sad when I see how many young children start disrespecting their parents at a very early age. And, to some extent its quite frightening.Maritza Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12230064274459877321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719233744423338345.post-89382411551562598642010-02-09T15:34:01.934-08:002010-02-09T15:34:01.934-08:00I really feel bad for the parents who have to put ...I really feel bad for the parents who have to put with this kind of kids, but when the Mrs mentioned about the example that the parents give, might also be the problem, I immediately thought of that, and it made sense! <br /><br />Sometimes parents out there they expect their kids etc.. to change and to do better <br /><br />but if the mom or dad is not doing their part, than they are going to have to wait! <br /><br />because no kid changes without seeing their own parents change first! That is how smart aleck kids work,and it is the only way they change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719233744423338345.post-27123951973413874572010-02-09T10:46:21.077-08:002010-02-09T10:46:21.077-08:00This is very helpful Ms.Evelyn

I remember when I use...Mrs Evelyn this is so true!<br /><br />I remember when I used to argue with my mom I used to pinpoint that she smoked and that what I did wasn't as bad as what she did. This always silenced her...<br /><br />I wouldn't respect her because I thought she wasn't a good role model for me. I yelled at her and she yelled back. Then I'd yell that I hated her and she'd tell me mean thigns. And it was the same cycle over and over...<br /><br />Eventually things changed when we started coming to church. At first my mom went and told the pastor how I argued with her and stuff and then I would get mad at her for that. I thought it was her fault if she didn't do certain things then I wouldn't get mad. <br /><br />But then, my mom started smiling more and stopped smoking - I couldn't use that against her anymore. I still yelled at her but she started to remain silent! It REALLY annoyed me at first! I was used to hearing her screaming back. But that time, her silence spoke louder than any words could've...<br /><br />This made me think a lot. How cruel I was and also how the pastor said that we should respect our parents no matter what or who they are... <br /><br />It was only in church the fist time I can remember (in my life) I told my mom I loved her. <br /><br />The parents have a lot due with how the kids are in my opinion. If they want respect then they, the parents, should be the first to give it.
