Bill Cosby said that if a child says no to you that didn't bother him so much. Because if tell a child to come to you and he says no, you go get them...that means yes. It's when a parent doesn't do what they mean that bothers him.
Well here is another father that knows what he is doing. http://news.yahoo.com/dad-shoots-daughters-laptop-over-facebook-post-video-222929321.html. He did the right thing.
- Jordan writes in the video description: "Maybe a few kids can take something away from this... If you're so disrespectful to your parents and yourself as to post this kind of thing on Facebook, you're deserving of some tough love. Today, my daughter is getting a dose of tough love."
He took power away from the child and put it right back into his hands, where it should be, the parent. In today's time children get away with way too much. They rule over the parent and the parent caves in. They try and manipulate every situation and the parent either is dumb or plays dumb and the spoiled brat gets away with it.
Take it from a school teacher (ask any of them). A student talks too much, get disrespectful, doesn't listen to instructions, never brings materials to class, doesn't care about finishing any work, sleeps in class, is late to class everyday, always has to go to the restroom or nurse or counselor, and then gets an F in class. The parent comes down to talk to you and yell at you because their child is a good kid. And if you yell at the child for not doing what they are supposed to be doing, heaven forbid you could lose your job. Then the schools are blamed for an uneducated society. Question: where does education begin? Answer: in the home!
Parents are the first line of defense for children. They need to be examples and set the rules. They need to be firm and moral. They need to be consistent and knowledgeable. They need to know when to trust and when not to trust. They need to take action...period. Of course the one major mistake this father did was to allow his child an account on Facebook. The lap top cost money, Facebook was free.
