Don't get stuck with candy corn. Your sanity, your kids, and their future are worth the extra effort. After all, most parents have some underlying issues that probably are to blame for what crap their kid is dealing with.
In general, lazy kids are created when parents and other family members enable their needy demanding behavior. Please give me 5 mins to put an end to that false sense of entitlement and over-inflated self-worth.. If you model active, challenge-seeking behavior, your child will follow in your footsteps..otherwise, I’ll put my size 13 boot in that kid’s ass.
Walk away and call NegroNanny if your child won’t stop smart mouthing you. It’s important not to engage in a debate if your child is being - please give me 5mins to put an end to that disrespectful S#!T.
This is not forgetting because of a memory problem.
Kids forget things if remembering them doesn’t work well for them. They will forget to clean their room every time, because they do not like to do it. On the other hand, they remember easy, fun things. Tell them you are going to buy them a new iPhone and they will remind you every minute until you order it.
Most parents lose control its critical that they stregthen the foundation of their family. If the foundation is not strong and positive, everything built above it will crumble when it fails. Don't crumble...make the call.
