Good advice friendowl. It comes down to consistancy. Young children need it. You can't expect them to go to bed at 8:30 one day just because you want them to if you let them stay up to 10:00 every other night.

The only parenting advice I can think of off the top of my head is along the same line. "No" should always mean no. Don't tell them "no" and then give in after some whining or crying. It will just teach them that whining or crying will get them what they want. Once you say "no" never give in. After a while they'll come to realize that whining and crying isn't going to help and they won't do it anymore. If it's something that is up for debate tell them "maybe" instead and then go from there. The trick is that, as the parent, you need to make the quick decision between whether something is "no" or "maybe".
Fengzi Reviewed by Fengzi on . some good advice ! anyone with any good input feel free to add.... my lil bit of parental advice is this , if you put your babies or lil kids to sleep early like at 830 every night , when they get older they will stick to that pattern and leave you in peace if you let your kids stay up with you , after some time you will go crazy cuz you need time by yourself Rating: 5
