[Mike]

You know what I was thinking the same thing. The way I see some kids acting now makes me upset. In most cases I would blame the parents. It seems that many parents now are trying to be friends with their child and not disciplining them the way they should. Not that there is anything wrong with being friends with your child but there needs to be a balance. I would say I had a good balance of discipline and fun with my parents. (My dad was more discipline than fun, lol) Even though I had fun with my parents they chastised me when needed. I didn’t understand then their strict upbringing but now I appreciate it. My parents taught me hard work, discipline and how to respect others. I know all the blame can’t lie solely on the parents but they need to get stricter on the discipline – not too strict though. (Being too strict would be a form of abuse and may cause a problem child) I guess it’s illegal now but I think children benefit from spankings not beatings but spankings. My parents spanked me and it did me no harm, contrary to popular belief. Have you ever heard the scripture ‘..you spare the rod, you spoil the child..’?
