One of the hardest things with being a parent is how to discipline your child, as times are changing so is the way we discipline our children. While using the belt may have been considered to be acceptable in the 60’s it is definitely not acceptable now. Times are changing and mostly for the better!
After working a full day in the office, shop or wherever we need to work to pay the bills it sometimes just feels easier to let the kids do whatever they are doing. If I am being honest it can be exhausting trying to control them and sometimes I am just not sure what the best thing to do is.
I have found that sometimes I have to look for help and support, even if it is only from knowing that I am getting good advice, from the Internet and TV. Sad but true. Yes there are some sites and some programs where they say things that just don’t feel right, but that is the beauty of it. You can always find someone else to read or watch.
Finding a website or a TV presenter that has the same parenting values as you do is important. When you find someone that you can relate to and if they make you feel that they have been through similar experiences to you then it is must easier to allow their advice to sink in to your subconscious.
Sometimes taking advice about how to deal with your children is the hardest thing to do, so often if someone offers their advice in a face to face situation it can get out of control. I think all of us have seen situations at family parties where someone has commented on the way other peoples kids are behaving, it almost never ends well.
Once you find a website that you feels offers good advice that is relevant to you then stick with it. I particularly like sites where you can ask questions, even if they don’t get answered quickly it is nice to know that someone is there to offer you one on one advice.
When starting to discover how to discipline your child it can be worthwhile to get advice from someone who truly understands. I have discovered that Ann Pleshette Murphy has a very worthwhile website full of information and personal help.
