it is difficult to raise good kids?

It's difficult now.Parents view their children as pearls in the palm.They are really apoiled as you said.ha,there are people coming to respond to this question,but let the fact respond to this.

Yes, i agree with you.It is really difficult to raise good kids. In my country,the amount of popularity is so huge that our goverment have a politic which called"Family planning" to control the popularity.Every person in city only could have one child.The people in countryside could have one more hild after eight years if they have the first child.It is very strict.If you don't allow that politic,you will be punish with many money. For only have one child,most of parents spoil their child.they give their child their full and whole love,they give them what the child wants,the more money,the best education,the best goods.Parents want their child to be better than any one lese.They pround fo their child. I can understand the thought what the parents have.Every parent all loves their child so much and desire them to be excellent.If i have a child one day.I also want him/her happy without worry. But the way to bring up a child is so difficult.You can't too strict for sometimes child is treasonous.You can't spoil your child for it's really not good.Some parents spoil their child.After the child grow up,they don't know how to live by themself.they became lazy and unmannered.That is terrible. How to balance the scale is difficult.Teaching them to respect elder,to hard working,to independent,to be kind. How to raise a successful child is really a deep knowledge.

i find that the people that you surround yourself with are a reflection of yourself- your children included. if you want your children to be a good reflection of you, then you need to take the work to teach them right from wrong starting at a young age. a lot of people make the mistake of waiting until children are school age to wait for a teacher or someone else to do the work for them. at this point its already too late. i am a strong believer in positive discipline. and in this time of the child protection agency, people are so afraid to do what's right for their child for fear of being punished by the law. i look at it this way, if you don't discipline your child as a child- the world will do it for you when they become an adult. and the world won't be as loving as you are.

I think its up to the parents as to hard it will be to discipline them.

I feel that discipline and manners all start from young. Being a parent I do have my fair share of bad hair days where the kids refuse to listen to everything and anything you say even though it is in their best interest. However one has to be consistent and discipline in educating one's kids to behave properly. I too have encountered many spoiled kids. The reason they are behaving in such a way has to to with their parents/guardians not bothering or not consistantly teaching them to behave well. Many parents I feel are just shirking their responsibility in educating their own child by pushing the responsibility to the teachers or even the state. This wrong mentaility has caused the rise of such spoilt brats in a never ending vicious cycle.
