As John Andrew Holmes wisely said,
"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting
centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

What to do when our children disrespect and lie...

Check out this latest article from Work and Family Life.
It touches on Respect and that children are displaying disrespect for grown-ups at earlier ages now.  It says Children "need to see the adults around them as valuable sources of wisdom and fun, of understanding and acceptance, of support and comfort."
It goes on to explain "The problem is that in some ways we have become more distant and in others we over-manage our kids' lives."
Other problems contributing to respect problems include decrease in family time.  They suggest spending time "hanging-out" as a family and with extended family with older relatives as well.  Lots of great info is in this article, so go check it out!
