'Wait - leme put this in the bin.' (A bottle.)<BR/><BR/>Child 2. 'Aww just throw it over there man!'<BR/><BR/>Child 1 left it on the pavement.<BR/><BR/>Me, 'Can you put it in the bin please.' <BR/><BR/>(I know these kids as they offer to help me with things often.)<BR/><BR/>Child 1. Flops his shoulders and says half to himself, 'Aww, I knew I should have put it in the bin.'<BR/><BR/>He walks over to get the bottle.<BR/><BR/><BR/>So you see sometimes a lot of children just need adult guidance.Umm Maymoonahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028013036314223585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371165029078155035.post-59406538145326362742007-08-27T12:50:00.000-07:002007-08-27T12:50:00.000-07:00I don't think the article is talking about discipl...I don't think the article is talking about disciplining children while their mothers are present but rather looking out for them in absence of their parents?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371165029078155035.post-75408574343958682032007-08-20T17:40:00.000-07:002007-08-20T17:40:00.000-07:00i have to admit, she makes an interesting and conv...i have to admit, she makes an interesting and convincing case.<BR/>i think the thing which is 'shocking' is the idea of everyone 'disciplining' your child. that's quite an..emotive word. it is very straight forward if a child is doing something which is 'obviously' wrong(why am i using so many quotation marks!?) but what if there is a grey area? <BR/>i have to admit, sometimes when i see children that are being so--o naughty, and the mother is sat doing nothing, i don't feel it is my right to interfere and tell her how to raise her child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
