Don’t spoil them (have you ever seen a spoiled child happy?) you can not reason with a child’s mind. They learn from watching you. Don’t lie to them. Love them and do exactly what you tell them you will do, example, If you don’t stop, I will spank you! If you say it a second time, without follow thru, they will hate you in the end. Stability, love, discipline, and some tuff love will go far. It teaches them how to live with their decisions, understand right from wrong, understand that there are consequences for their actions. How to think of others. Bend the tree when it’s young, the longer you wait, the harder it will take. Be a good Parent and role model. We have a Society of bastards and self indulge spoiled children.
