Raising A Child To Respect, Honor and Appreciate Everything and Everyone! David Page

Parents today are struggling to make ends meet while striving to give their children more than they had as kids. We work hard all day long, not for ourselves, but for our children who we know deserve our very best. We also desperately try to teach our children responsibility for their actions and teach them a good work ethic that will be crucial to their success as respectable adults. In the process of all these lessons, we find it extremely difficult to get the little we ask from them without sometimes drowning in raised voices, repeated requests, and ultimatums to get the correct response from our children. This however doesn't always get the correct response, it instead leads to resentment and hostility that drives love and respect out the door. There has to be a better way to encourage our children to think before they act, make the good decisions on their own, and all the while see that we are not their enemy.
