[quote=Anonymous]14:02 - why do you accord a beloved child less respect that common courtesy would dictate you give to almost anyone? If you needed a coworker to stop something they were doing, you'd ask politely and tell them why. If you found a woman crying on the floor I hope you'd squat down and ask what was wrong and if you could help. So, if you and your child disagree on what should be done, yes, you discuss it. Endlessly? No. At some point all that should be said has been said, and you can politely tell your child you have nothing more to add. But the child is a person worthy of respect, too. Children's choices, emotions, and views DO count as much as adults', at least in my view. They matter to God, I think, they matter to the kid, and so they matter to me. Doesn't mean the kid gets his way, though, in the end, because kids often want stuff that isn't good for themselves or others.[/quote]
