[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I agree that modern parenting has waaaay too much discussing and reasoning. Talk about a dead end and teaching your kid to argue. I've made that mistake with my oldest. I won't be doing that again.

It's good for parents to be at the top of the hierarchy, but it should be a "benevolent dictatorship."

The bathroom things seems impractical, but maybe that is because we only have one bathroom. I haven't figured out a way to get obedience without yelling. [i]Kids just aren't scared of parents anymore. Probably a good thing on balance, [/i]but not without its downsides. Usually, I tell my kid that if she won't go to bed without endless silly stalling, I'll cut back her media allowance the next day. And I do. Seems to work, but only short term.

On balance, no.  It's obviously not a good thing.

Fwiw, my kids are not compliant or obedient (they have diagnoses that specifically say otherwise) but I require good behavior from them.  Years of training horses and dogs are applicable - I really think all parents would benefit from those skills but too few have any sort of experience like that.[/quote]
