Quote From: heather_79I am not patronizing my child, I am getting my household back, my children need to know who is in charge, that is what is wrong with children today, they have no boundaries, and no authority. You have to set those boundaries for them as a parent. My six year old and I have a great relationship, but instead of treating her like my best friend, I treat her as a child who needs to be molded into an adult, being an adult comes with time and learning. It's not just something they get off the bat. The counting method is working and it has made my home more peaceful, and we all get along alot better. Not everyone will agree, but again what works for one person, may not work for another. This let's a child know that they have boundaries, and that they can't get there way all the time. I believe if you read over the program and understood it a little better, you would understand, but I live in a Christian home, and I truly believe that my children need authority, they will learn to appreciate it when they get older!!! I beleive your doing just fine with what your doing if it works then keep up the great work these are young children we are talking about you dont just go and treat a 6 year old like an adult they have to have years of learning to become an adult and everyone has their own ways of parenting this is a good way to teach your children whos the boss and whos in control as they get older we get more strict with our children and when they finally become adults they then know more how to handle their children and what may or may not work. now if your children we`re born with instructions please let me know how you got them mine didnt come with instructions and I had to try different ways until I found the way my children learned everyone has different parenting styles that may or may not work for thier children you just continue looking until you find something that works Heather is doing GREAT take care and keep up the good work heather Lori
