Do you believe parents...

Yes I think a lot of parents are too laid back. I also think that a lot are afraid to discipline their children, and by that I DON'T mean hitting them. Over the last 10 - 15 years it has become more difficult to act as a parent without someone else stepping in. I think it is possible to love your children and bring them up to know right from wrong and to respect ppl and things.

the prime duty of the parent is to correct their kids when they are wrong and appreciate when they are doing what they ought to do.Encouragement is also essential like punishments or scolding. Be dare to scold and give plenty of appraisal.

I believe many parents are lost when it comes to disciplining their kids. If they spank them, it's abuse. If they yell at them, it's abuse. If they lock them in their room, it's neglect. And, unfortunately, the only methods left don't work.

I think that there is a full spectrum of parenting out there. I think that there is probably more parental neglect these days than in the past - it can be so easy to sit a child in front of the television and go about your own business. I think there are also people who are going to the extreme of being a control freak about their kids to try to produce a super progeny. Then there are a lot of folks in between who are trying their best and doing better some days than others. I think regardless of our ages, we are all still kids inside, and some days are easier than others to make the pieces fit. I count myself in there. Some days it is really a struggle.

I think it depends on everyones version of Laid Back...Some people might think there laid back and they are hard a$$es,.,lol..sooo But in my opinion..its a 50/50..I know alot of people say that parents that wont spank..are too laid back..where me persoanlly..I dont have to spank my child much at all really. i think I have 3 times in the 4 yrs so far..I also think there is a way to be your childs friend and parent..you justhave to know the boundries,because I want to be his friend..but if he does somthing worng yo bet your a$$ I will be theer waiting to ruin his life yet once again!! lol lo llollol...But I want him to feel he can tell me anything and I wont judge him..like my parents were with me..my mom and I have never ever been close..nor will we..she never wanted to be my friend,,listen to me..or be there for a shoulder to cry on..she was soo strict that when i became a teen a rebelled so much..because she never let me find myself..she wanted me to be her,,and that was it..welll nooo!! I dont want to be a miserable..mean mom..that never trusts her chilkd..when her child did nothing to didtrust her..soo..yeaa VENTING DONE!! LOL so yes there is a happy medium and I have found it..and I will let my son make mistakes and learn from them even though i know the outcome...but i will alsp be the parent that is there when he has dont soemthing bad and make sure he learns the hard way..,threw my disapline..

I depends on the parents. We do not allow our children to eat or drink anywhere except at the kitchen table. We do not let our children watch mainstream tv. They watch the noggin channel, disney channel, pbs kids, and the like. They are 6 and 4. They do not use the words stupid, idiot, shut up, etc. They have never heard the word crap, until we mistakenly let them watch Jurassic Park recently.

i belirve it

No i think there are still alot of parents out there that are still strict with there kids

Yes, I think that parents are too laid back now a days.

Hmmm... Actually it depends from person to person.. Some are and some are not...Aneewayz... THanks for your question.... Its really nice to be here at mylot... are you guys here for money or just for fun....

I would probably be seen by many people to be "too laid back" with my kids. I believe in letting them have the freedom to make their own decisons and to learn from those decisons. I give them advice and guidance but do not control every aspect of their lives.
