Parent Trap #11: Parental Disunity
PARENTAL DISUNITY undermines the relationships in the family. Sometimes, because of one parent’s need to be approved of, or to be accepted, that parent will try to show love to the child by rescuing, or by taking sides against the other parent.
Correct Principle #4: Consequences
Natural consequences are the natural results of our choices. Ultimate happiness comes from wise choices, while pain is eventually experienced from our irresponsible choices. The “natural consequence” of leaving the gate open is the loss of the dog. You don’t allow natural consequences when they are dangerous or would interfere with the rights of others.
Correct Principle #6: Work
Work is an essential key to healthy human development. It is one of the foundation blocks of character development. Work helps a child to develop independence, endurance and tenacity. It improves the child’s self-image and develops confidence and self-discipline. The child also learns to handle responsibility.
Teaching Correct Principles: A Parent's Guide
Parents must not only have certain skills and an understanding of correct parental principles, they must also endeavor to show the child that there are high principles and meanings involved in the actions they take as parents.
