He was such a respectful little boy. His mom must be doing something right. <BR/><BR/>Kristen, the stink eye worked on me too. I would cry if my mom even had to talk to me. <BR/><BR/>Jen, I agree! Parents really need to reinforce respect for teachers in this time when teachers are very limited in their resources for discipline. <BR/><BR/>CV, I couldn't agree more. Parents sometimes forget what their job is. Of course we love our kids and want them to be happy, but if we forget to teach them the important things in life they won't be happy. A few tears in their younger years might save them many more in adulthood.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06521088520231972617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259322.post-78323223299921995232008-02-11T17:10:00.000-08:002008-02-11T17:10:00.000-08:00I want to send this mom a Buick.I think that knowi...I want to send this mom a Buick.<BR/><BR/>I think that knowing what makes your child tick is the key to helping them understand how to make it in the world.<BR/>Manners<BR/>Work Ethic<BR/>Compassion<BR/>Integrity<BR/>These are complex things to learn well.

They became parents on purpose, and have been 100% involved in their children every day since.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07679741742125922220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259322.post-30859001152988692802008-02-11T16:35:00.000-08:002008-02-11T16:35:00.000-08:00yes, discipline should fit the child. as a teache...yes, discipline should fit the child. as a teacher, it's nice to see a parent teaching a child to respect their teachers. <BR/>-JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259322.post-38314100672860875052008-02-11T16:03:00.000-08:002008-02-11T16:03:00.000-08:00Discipline fitting the child: yep, yep, yep!
