If I struggle with teaching obedience now, then really, I'm HOOPED. I am by no means perfect in this regard now, so I'll hold on to what little victories that I have already won. The truth is, my kids have never been out of line in someone else's house (with regard to treating their house with respect), and to my recollection, never broke anything in my own house while they were toddlers. The few things they have broken up to now have not been out of disobedience.<br /><br />Now their manners and mouths, well they're much more difficult............but I'm working on it.Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255532553760304422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754813035262036348.post-73815710253207472242009-05-04T09:52:00.000-06:002009-05-04T09:52:00.000-06:00Had a good chuckle at the picture, Dar. Also had ...Had a good chuckle at the picture, Dar. Also had a visual at the monkey swing he must have pulled, too! The little scamp.<br /><br />I do have to agree with you on not removing the curtains, though. I was also the parent who didn't remove the breakables for the very same reason: if at somene else's house, how on earth were they to learn NOT to touch something, if they at first didn't learn it in their own home?<br /><br />Without meaning to turn this into a "psycho-analasis" sisuation, I wonder if we have a generation of children who have grown up having the "breakables" removed and never learning not to touch? And now we have a generation that when you say "no" that isn't good, or "no" that isn't yours, or just plain "no", they just don't get it? They are rude, disrepectful and they think the world owes them. I just remember when I was raising my girls, I was a minority with the "leavng the breakables out" philosophy.<br /><br />Just a thought that maybe this could be a contributing factor.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830152332595760689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754813035262036348.post-49296815153914956602009-05-04T07:24:00.000-06:002009-05-04T07:24:00.000-06:00Mrs. Wizzle: Truthfully, I didn't see this coming...Mrs. Wizzle: Truthfully, I didn't see this coming (stupid, maybe), but he's had these curtains up for a few months and I had told him not to pull on them. <br /><br />As far as getting rid of them altogether, I'd have to think about that. I was not the kind to remove the "breakables" when they were babies/toddlers, only some unsafe stuff, believing that they just had to learn not to touch everything. I wouldn't want Junior to think he can pull on curtains at someone else's house, so I want him to learn not to pull on them here. Hopefully this lesson has been taught. I'll just have to be a bit more diligent, as well.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255532553760304422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754813035262036348.post-18493715462690508582009-05-04T05:26:00.000-06:002009-05-04T05:26:00.000-06:00my suggestion?
