Rule Domains

Establishing parental rules is easy for parents who remember their own childhood (assuming that they turned out okay). Now its their turn to have the authority and wield the power. Although every family establishes their own unique code of laws, all parents will hear their children cry, "That's not fair"! I feel that parents that need to give children certain freedoms in order to get them to listen when they don't want to later. I believe that kids respond to parents inversely to the way that their parents address them. Parents need hold the authority while not being too overbearing and controlling. It takes time and experience to learn what is too strict and what is too lenient. I believe that using dual perspective is necessary for parents to gain respect and to effectively communicate teachings to their children. Kids get hung up on what is fair, and they see their private domain being violated by one or both parents. Good parents know what is fair and appropriate, kids think they know. It is important for parents to effectively communicate to their children in a manner that the children will respect their judgements. In my opinion, this mutual understanding between children and parents can be achieved and develop into a strong, trusting, and lasting union. In the end, the parents will win. When their children get older and know that they can tell their parents anything, it will make a huge difference in the course their lives
