In Reply to: parents should also limit what kids...... posted by DRD #37 on May 02, 2002 at 12:14:59:
: ......are allowed to listen to and watch, especially at an early age when they're extremely impressionable. They should teach the kids to know the difference between right and wrong, and always know how to act in certain situations. That's really where parents are to fault - not in causing kids' violent behavior, but in that they don't teach kids that violent behavior is bad.
Too many parents want their 15 minutes on Jerry Springer or Opera so they can tell the world how fucked up their kids are and what aterrible time they have had adn that they try so very hard.......but what can you do with a child that won't listen????
Seriously there is that mantality out there, that and the my parents did it this way and I turned out perfectly fine so its good enough for you attitude.....
And finally...the let him figure it out him/herself.....
