Six Things Loving Your Kids DOES NOT Mean:
-
Making your kids so much the center of attention that they rule the household.
-
Giving your kids so many things that they are never satisfied and don’t really know how to value and take care of their things.
-
Failing to set reasonable rules so that your kids can learn what it takes to get along in the world and stay out of trouble.
-
Excusing or ignoring bad behavior so often that your kids never learn that their behavior has consequences.
-
Saving your kids so often from feeling normal sadness and disappointment that they are not sure how to pick them themselves up and keep going after a setback.
-
Saying yes so much and allowing so many privileges that your kids expect to always be happy and satisfied.
