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.

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
