I've seen small children hitting and kicking their parents. And the parent is saying "Please don't kick me" and the kid kicks them again. As a parent of young children, You HAVE TO DEMAND respect. A small child is not going to just respect you. If they have not learned respect by the age of 7, forget it. |
My Brother in laws 3 year old daughter screams at him and hits him. He trys to reason with her and it just doesnt work. She needs a good old fashioned spank on the butt. It is sad because they live two doors down from us and there is a little girl accross the street that she could play with but the Mother doesnt want her over there because she dont behave. So My Daughter is asked to go over there and play all the time. If Samantha didnt have My Daughter to play with shed have no one
