Greetings every steemians, sometime ago, we discussed about the first phaze of this topic which you can read here about how parental authority weakens.. I will still throw more light to this subject under discussion. We will be looking at how shifting opinions affect discipline.

Over the years, parenting practices often reflected the ever-shifting opiniond og human. According to educator Ronald G. Morrish; discipline keep on changing. He continues " it also reflects changes in our society.
No doubt, the current wave of relaxed discipline also have negetive effects. Not only that it has weakens parental authority but has also left children without proper guidance they truly need to make good choices and approach life with a genuine confidence.
TEACHING THE WRONG LESSONS?
IMAGINE YOURSELF IN THis SITUATION
- imagine you were been raised by a harsh parents, therefore you resolved in your heart not to treat your children the same way. You always praise them on every opportunity even when they have done nothing at all. It is good to cheer and make your kids feel good about themselved. " if they feel better. They will surely have the confidence they need to make it in life" you said to yourself.
consider : in recieving an empty praise, what lessons are your son really learning? Praise that is doled out just to make them feel alright?
better approach: always be balanced. Base your praise on actual effort and at the same time, do not be overly critical of your children.
Is there a better way?
We will consider it in the subsequent article. Stay tuned.
Thank you for your article, I am the mother and sometimes very difficult to teach them. hope to friend with you
You are welcomed ma'am
