Thumbs up

I am the parent of a 5 year old girl, and yes, when she gets out of hand - trust Mother on this one, I put her in check!!! She is not a bad child, but she is a child nonetheless and will try to see how much stuff she can get away with. That's just the nature of children - they want to test their boundaries. It's up to the parents to set those boundaries when necessary. I can't believe when I see these talk shows about parents who are afraid of their children!! If I even smelled like I wanted to talk back to my mother, I got checked. Bottom line is I would rather discipline my daughter now, that way when she grows up, I won't have to worry about her doing something like knocking someone over their head and having to deal with law enforcement. Like someone said earlier, where my child acts up is where she gets checked.
