There are more out of control children today than ever before, due to not only lack of discipline, but also, parental involvement in the lives of their children. It is not enough to just discipline a child and not find out what is going on in that child's life. Parental involvement is as important as setting up rules and following through, by punishing the child when those rules are broken. Parents need to be aware of who his friends are, and .
are the friends the parents have met, those the ones their kid is hanging out with? Be aware of who are the people that are influencing their child. Try to find out as best they can what is happening in their kids" life, any problems or pressures that might trouble a kid, and become problematic for either the child or the parent. .
There are kids that do what they want to do because they know all their parents are going to do is yell at them a little bit, and that is it for their punishment. After yelling for a while, the parent feel like their job is done and things resume as if nothing happened. It does not matter what the child has done, some parents think that a good scolding will do the trick, and the child will change his malicious ways. For example, a kid decides to go out with his friends, and stays out really late, because they were having fun roaming the streets. To the kid, time does not matter, he will go home when ever he gets tired or he gets good and ready; he figures to hell with the curfew. He knows that the only repercussion he faces consists of getting yelled at. He"ll say he is sorry and problem solved. .
Some parents have a strict guideline that they enforce, but the child is out with other kids that get him involved with some type of wrong doing, and the parents have no idea what their child is up to.
