I love her paragraph at the end especially! It's definitely how I was raised and how I've raised my daughter.

I like this: "But I do know that as a parent, it begins with me. I set the limits." It truly does begin with the parents.

When parents do not do that, their kids will suffer. They have a struggle overcoming it. Many do not. It's very sad.

I see so many kids at my SDs school who are acting out. It sure doesn't help them that they are getting little to no guidance at home. While they do see kids get in trouble with teachers, teachers and school staff can only do so much. I feel for teachers, but that's for another blog.

I thought it was kind of ridiculous. The author writes that they are in a comfortable money situation and when they have a bad day can afford to go buy a special treat.
Doesn't that contribute to a whiney brat? JMO Smile
