I to beleive that is all about how the child is raised. If your child is young and manipulating you and you are giving in then that is what will happen when they get older. You have to mold a child into the type of person you can respect later in life. If you are yelling and cursing at your child at the age of 2-4 then at the age of 10-12 that is all they know how to do. Life is all about balance and to much of anything especially if it is not deserved is not hurting anyone but that child.
My thoughts were a little scattered but you guys get what I mean...i hope
