It looks so easy on TV! How come when Supernanny enters a home, she immediately gets respect and results? It seems somewhat real but can it be that easy?
Maybe those parents just aren’t in control of their kids. Those parents just don’t get the basic principles behind raising children. Those parents let their kids act like barbarians. They don’t say no with conviction. They are letting their kids walk all over them. They let their tweens set the rules of the house.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM? WHAT IS WRONG WITH US?
We follow Supernanny’s instructions………..…..sort of.
We are consistent……………………………….…….…most of the time.
We hold our ground………..…………………………..usually.
We say NO firmly and with conviction…………..typically.
We remember to praise good behavior………….more often than not.
We follow through with consequences ……….…sometimes.
We take a tone of authority……………………….….at least we think we do.
We demand the respect that we deserve……….occasionally.
SO WHAT ARE WE DOING WRONG?
As you may have predicted, we know exactly what we are doing wrong!
