Just a small request for all you parents out there. I am a babysitter and the one thing I have noticed that is increasing rapidly is the amount of child ruling parent homes. letting your child do whatever they want just to save you from hearing them cry or throw a tantrum makes my job so unbelievably hard!! I pray for patience on a constant basis!! My children are no where near perfect but they do know how far they can push mom's buttons before they end up in the corner!! I just want to remind you parents that the Bible does say " He whospares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly." Not trying to be mean or anything! I'm not saying go out and beat your kids but children need limits and rules in order to grow into godly adults and not setting boundaries when they are young will cause major problems in the long run! Jus tsomehting to think about!!!
We have some friends that do not control their kids, or discipline thier kids. We hate watching them. Their kids just run their parents into the ground. Those kids are hard on our kids, too rough, mean etc.
My wife and I have found that parents who do NOT work on a parenting style (ie: effectice parenting, Babywise, or just James Dobson) thier kids are just WILD! That is what Babywise call a "child centered home". They do not listen to the parents, and generally a pain.
A child centered home is when the child basically runs the house and gets everything he/she wants. A parent centered home is when the child is respectul of authority, and others.
Peace
