I have not been doing this for long, but if I think about how kids were when I was growing up compared to now... I do think things have changed. I sometimes feel like i`m too hard on my kids but I think that there are things that are just unacceptable, and refuse to have my kids behave a certian way. I dont know how many times I have had to tell my school age daycare kids who are allowed a certian behaviours, or allowed to use certain language at home with their parents that I will not allow in my home, that even if their parents allow it it is NOT acceptable when you are with me in my home!
