[quote=Anonymous]There is too much emphasis on being nice to your kids. This leads to parents being overly accommodating. When parenting was harsher, lightning up a bit didn’t lead to such bad outcomes, but now that we’re expected to be nice to our kids as a baseline, they are often overly entitled brats. I made that mistake with my oldest, but he’s really straightened himself out. Now I know I need to be much much firmer, without being mean. You don't wanna swing the pendulum back too far the other way.[/quote]
