ask the action hero on the unit that they are showing attention in to give the talk for you. A thought for some, if by chance they refuse to listen to you, find someone that they will listen too, even if it means dressing up like them to have the discussion. The things they see can influence kids on tv, but remember not all tv programs are bad, and if you are worried about how tv is influencing your child, maybe you should sit down and watch the tv with them and be ready to turn it off for them when you see something you don't want them to watch. Set ground rules and guidelines, and for crying outloud enforce them by taking away the remote or unplugging the stupid box if you have too. Remind them who is in charge.

Not all people are able to defend themselves against people wanting to point finger, especially children. Kids do some of the craziest things and get into the most trouble or even to embarrass you. My favorite one is the tempertram. I have watched on several occasions were the child gets the item they want and the parent tells them as they leave the store that if they pull that stunt again they'll never get anything again. I don't believe the kid was listening, because they ultimately got what they wanted and will continue to get what they want everytime until the parent puts the item back on the shelf and tells the child to go ahead throw a tantrum and you'll be happy to charge admission while they scream and kick the floor to death. It usually gets their attention, and lets them know you will not be intimidated.

There are plenty of people out there willing to give their views on how they would handle the job. How to be a good parent really boils down to what you do, say, and how you act around a child that gives him/her a reference to what guidelines that they have to live by and what you expect from them. Most of all, don't forget to let them know there are penalties for bad behavior. Standing in the corner, push-up, sit-up, time out on the couch, time out in their room, take away their favorite toy or game, take away phone or tv privelages.

You will always have a child who may decide to try your patience and lash out, by basicly refusing to live by the example you set. Maybe feel that you they are less than perfect, or not they are not what you inisioned them to be You should try and remember and watch for this and try and notice this, and instead of ignore it, or tell them how they have disappointed you, maybe you should try to tell them how much
