Setting boundaries has never been modeled for them. Trying to ignore the situation is their defense system. It doesn't excuse their lack of discipline, but it does help me to understand why.

Kids are so smart. They know how and what to take advantage of, if you allow them. I've seen parents out shopping with their children and totally ingnoring their children as if they didn't even know them. The parents ignore their children so they don't have to deal with the problems. The children are running up and down the aisle's touching everything and there doesn't seem to be a parent in sight. Why can't some parents be responsible for the actions of their children and teach their children that there are consequences for inappropriate behavior. Parents need to step up and actually be parents to their children instead of trying to be friends to their children. Your words are very consoling. Thank you for your insight. MO Hi Richard,

Todor, Ph.D. Fri, 22 Jan 2010 17:25:18 +0000 http://www.balancedlivingsystem.com/blog/?p=83#comment-643 Richard, Your thoughtful post made me pull an old book (1986): Embracing Contraries: Explorations in Learning and Teaching by Peter Elbow. Growth could come from several other "C" words (circumstances): contention, confusion, contradictions, shifts in context. These days we are confronted with rapid innovation and change, complexity and uncertainty. Your post is primer on how individuals and business can devise strategies to thrive. John Todor Richard,

I did however want to give you major props for suggesting when I lost my job the first time - that we roll our 401k funds in to an index annuity. Best thing we ever did and just a few months before the "downturn" that others I know lost 50-70%. Thank you, Rich I thought you were talking about me but then my name is not Gertie and I don’t have any grandkids… yet.
