I have something to brainstorm about parenting. Are parents doing enough to nurture and instil value in their children? Are parents aware/ ready for parenting as they were single some time ago, got married which is such a drastic change of responsibilities, and now have children who are their own masters with unending needs and demands. Isn’t it unfair for parents to go through so much without any resource to learn from. Should they be trained to be leaders, givers, practise patience etc before having babies? Should children have a course since school about patience, forgiveness, fairness and finding themselves instead of learning about the table of 15, the rules of grammar, the 10th ruler of a country, the soil and plants of a jungle etc? Did learning this make life worth living?

Wow, you’ve got some good in-depth subjects pinned down:slight_smile:thanks @Vishwavijay !

Feel ready for a debate?:smiley:

Totally agree about the courses in patience and kindness and all of that.

yes :-)

what do you guys think about time outs, do you think they work if no then why?

11

hmm… like being punished with a timeout when you disobey?

I think they might be effective… not sure though. My parents never used that technique. It was the swatting stick, firm words, occasionally privileges taken away.

What are your thoughts on the subject?

12

I think time out is a good technique if done properly, a lot of the time it doesn’t work (in my opinion) because a lot of the time parents are yelling answering their kids when they yell out and turn it into a game for the kid.

13

Good thoughts!
Mm, yes. That’s true. If you’re punishing your kid, you have to actually be punishing them . It doesn’t work very well otherwise ;-D

I feel so sorry for spoiled kids:frowning:

14

So maybe it isn’t the best technique, all things considered, as to what it can turn into.

15

i think it is when it is done properly and i think it is a good technique for tantrums because it gives some time for them to calm down and reflect

also i feel sorry for spoiled kids too because it is not their fault to be honest i was a spoiled kid not overly spoiled just a little spoiled

Yeah:slight_smile:
