I don’t know how many parents have shared their feelings of frustration over their children’s disrespectful attitudes.  I know Parents want their children to show respect.  What is it that causes this behavior?  What keeps parents from feeling successful in dealing with their children’s behaviors?

Parents do not talk respectfully to their children. They raise their voices, yell, scream and even call them names. When parents treat their children this way, they’re letting their kids know its all right to interact with others disrespectfully.  Parents are the most powerful role models to their kids.  Kids watch what their parents do and then do the same thing.  They begin to think its ok to treat their parents the same way their parents treat them.  Can you see how this type of thinking can build and build, creating problems between parents and their children?...   more »
