Are Your Children Behaving Badly in Public?
Some Children Don't Care If You're Around or Not
This is really something to think about because some children are natural born actors. It's always yes sir/ma'am when they are around their parents, and you see them helping with chores and never talking back because they are so respectful. When they are out of sight from their parents it is the total opposite. There are the children who have the nerve to throw temper tantrums and yell at their parents in public and mom/dad usually cave and submit to the child's commands.
Wrong this is so wrong because you' re teaching your child that it is OK to disrespect an adult and if you do it long enough you will surely get what you want. Life does not work this way and this is a lesson that needs to be learned. My niece is three and has more manners than the average teenager these days, and I hope and pray that this stays with her as she grows into adolescence. The sad part is you can teach them how to behave but will it stick with them or will they fall into the other category?
I have to tell you this one scenerio; a friend and I had just finished lunch and we were standing in the parking lot talking, all of a sudden I hear a rolling noise like a grocery basket when i looked up sure enough it was one headed right for us. Now I did not go off surprisingly but the thing that bothered me was there was a little boy who pushed the basket intentionally and his parents were standing there trying not to laugh. What in the world is going on with some of the parents, and this same little boy will probably be cursing at and hitting his parents when he gets older that is if he's not already doing it.
For the longest time I refused to watch Super-nanny, because I could not understand how parents allow their children to rule over them. I agree that you should use all avenues when disciplining a child before you go to spanking, but I honestly believe there is nothing wrong with it. I tell my mother to this day that I'm glad she spanked me because it kept me from doing a lot of stupid things. Don't get me wrong children should not be spanked every time they do something wrong.
Parents can't be everywhere at once and hopefully when their children are in public places they act in an appropriate manner because they are a reflection of them.

Post a CommentQuite frankly (and I have 4 children; been a Mom for nearly 20 years), I don't think it's common for kids to be really perfect around their parents, and then awful out in public when away from them. I've only met a few people in my entire life who were like that, but they were the most disturbed type of child. Diabolical, even.
My experience has been that kids who act horrible in public, do so because they are allowed to act horrible no matter where they are. It's pathetic, and the types of parents who stand by and ignore it while their kids disturb everyone around them are just useless, in my opinion.
Have you tried Homeopathic Techniques.
I have one treatment that might help, this is for the child who tends to be hyperactive prone to jealousy, possessive of friends, but may hurt them with their poisonous tongue. It is called Lichesis 6X .
Thanks so much for your comment Jessica. I can't actually send you a direct response because you're not a member of associated content. I wasn't preaching, just giving a couple of examples to situations I've been in. I did not mean it to offend anyone and apologize if you took it in that way. I understand that being a parent is hard work and it would be so much easier if children came with instruction, but unfortunaltely they don't so parents have to do the best they can. Thanks again.
Your right, your not a parent, so please don't preach to others unless you've actually experienced it yourself. A lot of people say that they would do a better job but when your actually living the situation on a daily basis you'd probably be the worst at it. So please, give parents a break, if you choose to not be one then it's your choice but don't be a critic of others.
...like it was no big deal. I'd have gotten snatched up by the neck for pulling something like that. I hate parents who aren't considerate of other people with their child in public. Just because you think your kid is cute doesn't mean everybody else does. Ugh.
This one hit a nerve because not even a few hours ago, I was at my favorite vegan restaurant (Alice & Friends), and this restaurant is very quaint. It plays jazz-like music, and only has about eight tables in the whole place. Now in a quiet restaurant like that, it's going to be noticeable when some badass little boy comes in talking loud and playing video games. That wasn't what got me. What got me was when I prayed "Please don't sit the boy next to me. Please don't sit the boy next to me," and they didn't. Whew. However, for some insane reason, the boy decided he wanted to be close to Mom (who was across from me), pushed two seats together, laid on both flat on his back, and kicked his legs out. So not even a good foot away from me, I'm seeing legs kicking and the chairs are moved so close to me in a straight line that I can't stand up without going around the boy. The killer part is when I got up to put my coat on, his mom didn't even move him then. She just kept on eating her food
So true. With kids you better get their respect very early on, because if you allow things when they are small it is not going to get any better, and will likely get worse as they get older. I enjoyed your article.
Really interesting read!
great article, Quiche!
