I once heard someone saying,"'My child is a glue ear,"I was like, a what?In other words that is a naughty kid who does not listen.We hear very so often parents asking themselves where they went wrong when their kid does not turn out as expected or when they do something stupid.Children don't have a grasp of right or wrong,have little sense of danger and require close parental protection.
Parents have the duty to teach their children to develop moral cocepts for the child to learn what is expected of him/her in different situations.Children are mainly inquisitive and exploratory and some children push boundaries more than others and this may be considered as 'naughty' or 'bad' not knowing that this may be strengths in adulthood.
When caning and grounding does not work as disciplinary measures,we should try a different approach.The child may be communicating something else to you,such as resentment or need for attention.As Fred Gosman said,"The more we shelter children from every disappointment,the more devastating further disappointments will be.
