Disobedient Children
In society today, there are many children with parents or guardians that cannot control anything that they do. Parents and guardians are being too sincere towards children and spoiling them, which children tend to take advantage and the parents. In some schools, they punish the children with disciplinary action meaning they either get paddled or they get sent home which is called a suspension. Parents need to learn to take that into the household. In Saki’s “The Storyteller” and Williams’ “The Use of Force,” the children disrespected their parents and guardians to a point where they couldn’t control them. It takes someone else to step into the situation and handle it the way that it needs to be solved.
When children are being unruly and disrespectful, the parent should have to tell the child once if he or she knows better. If not, then it is going to take multiple times. “The girls and the boy were all over the train car. The aunt kept telling the children “Don’t!” while the children kept asking her questions starting with “Why” (Saki). If there was some control, the children would stop after she said no the very first time. But if she told them before they got on the train, it would have been fine. Parents are being too nice to the children and some don not see that the child is using it as an advantage. Some children are smarter than you think. “Don’t Cyril, don’t! Exclaimed the aunt, as the boy began hitting the seat cushions, making clouds of dust fly up. “Come over here and look out the window.” (Saki) The aunt did not talk to the boy about what he was doing and how it was wrong. It was as if it never happened. If the parent ignores something like that, the child will not make a change unless you confront the situation.
In some schools, the children are normally disciplined when they are unruly and disrespectful. Some parents and guardians need to put that in effect in the household. That goes by saying that the parent or guardian

    Child discipline is something that we have all experienced personally in different forms, seen used on others, and is also to some degree what many of us will go on to practice later in life with our own children. Each person has their own opinion on what discipline is and how it should be used on children. The Webster dictionary defines discipline as “training to ensure proper behavior: the practice or methods of teaching and enforcing acceptable patterns of behavior.” Nowhere in this definition does it condone physical punishment, or say you need to use harsh and malicious strategies to acquire the behavior you seek. Discipline of children should be used in a positive manner, to encourage appropriate conduct, rather than be used as reprimand and physical punishment, because discipline is meant to help teach and guide children to act properly in accordance with the rules.…

    Many parents or guardians are vulnerable to go to jail on the charges of child abuse or child neglect. Discipline has a great influence in societal changes. Today, acts are enacted to provide support for children to defend themselves if they consider that they are “harshly disciplined”. Kids have the right to testify against their guardian. This takes away from chastisement of a child and also supports the injustice of the child. Families in the 60’s were allowed to raise their children. These children comprehended that if something was done that was unacceptable to parents there was always a…

    letting go 101

    In “Letting go”, Sam Schulman states that parents use too much control over their children by not letting them grow as the responsible adults they crave to be, by monitoring their every move. I do agree with the author that we overprotect our children more than ever before, certainly because we cannot look at our new generations and compare them to the care-free children in a care-free world, as it was after the World War II. Unconditional love is what makes parents worry so much. By accepting to be understanding friends instead of parents, and by using candor over rigidity, we are failing our children. Also, we all promised not to be as our parents, the guidance for our children should be stricter. Discipline in the USA is a constant fear. Child protective services are called if a child complains of his parents. Early in school, children are taught to dial 9-1-1 if parents to discipline them. Of course, I do not mean to correct with abuse but to do so to teach them right from wrong. Furthermore, we need to look at…

    When children fall out and say mean things to each other I always say to them well how would you feel about that if that’s what she said or did to you? I always get down to their level and use the appropriate body language and tone of voice. I ask them what they think they should do and I sanction them if necessary but most are just silly arguments that can be solved with an apology. If it was anything worse I would move their name and follow the behaviour policy. |…

    Sometimes children can be rebellious if there passing thru difficult time in their life or some stage, however we must not go into any argument with any child. Some times it’s good to give child and ourselves a little extra time alone to think again. Settings behaviour policy must be followed so the child or a young person will not be confused and they will know every consequence of their actions. We could call a another person to be with us at the time of talk to prevent any accusations, we must inform the manager just in case parent needs to be involved and also to allow communication between colleagues in setting to be up to date. Being informative and reasoning may allow child to understand further our point of view and in some case that may help issue to resolve. We must be sensitive, show them with our body language, that we are listening their point of view without interrupting their talk. Show child a respect and treat them like the adults, ask for mediator if you think that will be better for both side.…

    ”Don’t Spare the rod and spoil the child.” We have all heard that before, as a child I heard it a lot. I was not the most well behaved child, so I got into plenty of trouble. My mom hated my temper tantrums. When I was little, she disciplined me, and now I am a well behaved young adult who knows right from wrong. Discipline is a way of teaching a child how to do what is right while growing up. There are multiple ways to discipline a child and make him/her behave. I feel that it is very important to begin to disciplining children when they are young so they know what is expected of them.it gives them a better sense of right and wrong while growing up once a child has reached his/her teenage years it is too late to begin the discipline process. If parents begin early, I believe that the most effective ways of disciplining children are timeout, taking away privileges, talking to the child, and, as a last resort, and spanking.…

    If a child shows unacceptable behaviour, they will be removed from the group/situation and be encouraged to engage in an alternative activity, as an attempt to return to acceptable behaviour. I will NOT administer physical punishment, or any form of punishment which causes pain, humiliation or discomfort. Hitting and hurting others are always wrong actions and are neither encouraged nor permitted in my home.…

    When children misbehave, the parent’s disciplinary actions are often seen as a form of child abuse by other. There are different ways to discipline a child that is not considered child abuse. Most parents want their child to grow up happy, healthy, and have self confidence. Parents often think that disciplining their child will cause them to lack any of these feelings, this is not true. Children need discipline, parent’s that don’t discipline their child, often times the child’s behavior will reflect on the manner of the discipline (e.g. Children that misbehave, defiant, and disrespect others).…

    How far is too far? Some people believe that child abuse is an acceptable form of discipline, however I do not. There is a fine line between discipline and child abuse. What is discipline? Discipline is “the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience.” (https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&source=hp&btnG=Google+Search&gbv=2#hl=en&gbv=2&q=discipline). What is abuse? Abuse is “to treat a person or animal with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly.” (https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&source=hp&btnG=Google+Search&gbv=2#hl=en&gbv=2&q=abuse+definition)…
