I am from the UK. I am religious.
I am wealthy. I spend a lot of money. I have kids. I have a boy and a girl.
I saw a really interesting show that explained how to deal with kids who are acting up.  Oh, really? What did it suggest? It suggests that you leave them alone. Allow them to stomp away and slam doors. They are just expressing themselves. Only discipline if they are directly disrespectful like calling you names etc. What do you think of these suggestions? Sounds like it'd take a lot of patience ... at least at the start. I'm sure once they learn their abhorrent behaviors won't work they'll stop doing them, but it would be a trying time to be sure. I agree. I don't have children yet, but being religious, I think I would like to discipline them in love. I would not tolerate the door slamming and stomping regardless. I see adults still throwing tantrums. That means of coping needs to be rooted out early Behavioral problems are one of the few things you can't throw money at to solve. Kids don't always appreciate discipline and a firm hand but it makes them better people in the end. I agree. Do you find that what works for boys is different from what works for girls? Which one of your children is more even tempered? Both of my kids are fairly well behaved. My son tends to have more physical outbursts when he's acting up while my daughter gets sassy and backtalks. Fortunately both are pretty easy to control and usually know when they're in the wrong. Aww! Sounds like a lot of positive parenting going on! When I become a parent, I will certainly ask you for tips! All positive support is welcome I try my best, but my wife, and their tutors have just as much a hand in their good character as myself. Don't be afraid to act like an authority figure but always make time for your kids and let them know they are loved as well. That sounds like very good advice, thank you. I am a softie to my nieces and nephews so I have to learn how to be more authoritative while bein gloving. I also think it's great that you're wealthy. I am trying to accumulate wealth before having s kids. I think it takes some of the pressure off. Would you agree? They say money can't buy happiness and all that, and while true to an extent it certainly makes life easier. I don't know your work or college background but I could give you some pointers on investing if you had some starting capital to help you be more financially secure.
