Are you among the 5-10% of parents who do this?

I see 90-95% of parents, parenting harder and not smarter! Honestly its heartbreaking to watch the struggle. When a child doesn't obey the first time and Mom just continuously says the same thing over and over and over again, that's the hard way. When a mom just yells at her child because she is so frustrated that her child will not listen, that is the hard way. When a parent is constantly ignoring the tantrums thrown by their toddler, and the tantrums just continue to get worse and worse, that's the hard way. When a parent negotiates with their 5 year old on whether he is going to get off the slide now, like Dad said, or in 5 minutes, if they go get some ice cream, that's the hard way.

Then 5-10% of parents, parent smarter not harder. When their child will not listen and obey the first time when they ask them to get off the slide, they immediately take them off the slide (yes by force, that's why you are bigger than them; and yes even in front of people) and take them aside and discipline them. Then gives them a consequence for not listening and obeying the first time, that's the easy way! That same scenario happens again the next day and you know what miraculously happens? That child listens and obeys the first time, because they know that mom is not messing around. Guys this is the easy way.

Following through and being consistent with discipline is the easy way. Your child is going to push the boundaries, but keeping the boundaries, the boundaries and disciplining and following through every time keeps you in peace and in control as you should be. This in turn creates a house of peace and a house of children that have clear cut boundaries and rules. Children crave rules and boundaries, that's why they push them. They are looking to you to show them where they are and be the rock that never moves. This way they are secure in those boundaries. Children that listen and obey the first time are respectful to authority and pleasant to be around and all around happier and more secure! Isn't that what every parent wants for their children.

I encourage all of you that you can do this! You can follow through, you can be consistent and you can stick to your rules and boundaries every time your child pushes you! That's why God entrusted you with your specific children. Because he knew that you were specifically designed to handle and mold and form your specific child!
