[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being a nice adult doesn't make you a good parent. In fact, it possibly makes you an overly permissive parent, hence the monster children. [/quote] Being a nice adult to other adults does not mean you are a permissive parent. My DH is very nice, probably nicer than I am, and he is much less permissive than I am. And IME, to a certain extent children treat you the way you treat them. My child is by no means perfect, but she has been described as "kind" by multiple professionals, which makes me so proud. For example, she says please and thank you instinctively. Not because we have berated her into doing it, but because we use those words with her at home, constantly.[/quote]
