I am a proponent of Dr Phill. Yeah, you all know him, and I like his methods. Why? Cos he's straight talking just like me, ( perhaps more subtle tho ;-) and he gets the point across. And his methods work.
So, whilst reading Dr Phil stuff to get some inspiration fro my Mum in Awe site, I read the following things i think are relevant.
Enjoy!
Remember, You're the Parent
Children have lots of friends who tell them what they want to hear. They don't need you to be another friend. They need you to be an authority figure who lets them know where the boundaries of acceptable behavior are. Trying to be his or her friend will only undermine your authority as a parent and come back to bite you. ( and them)
Dr. Phil
More to come later....
