The Past and the Present

"Are kids more disobedient now than  in the past", is an article written by John Rosemond on September 20, 2011 in the Omaha World-Herald. In this article Rosemond explains how past and present parenting is so different. He explains that in the past parents let children  know that they were the authority figure, but now in present parenting, parents want to have a "close relationship" and they fail to set up "boundaries" as Rosemond says. Rosemond also goes on to explain that not all advice that doctors give on parenting is good advice. I chose this article because it could be a great source of information for my paper. It will highlight the differences in past and present parenting and also shed light on how people with degrees are not always giving accurate information on how to parent children. Its also a great article because Rosemond tells us that Children need "Authority" and in reality it helps them in the long run.

Why?

"The Disobedient Child" is an article written by written by the American Academy of Pediatrics on 11/11/2010. This article was found on Healthy Children.Org. In this article the speaker tells that at some point and time children are trying to find themselves.They are trying to see how far they can stretch the parents and at the same time they are trying to find out what they can do on their own. In this Article the speaker also gives parents things that they can do to overcome a struggle with a disobedient child. They also give a few things to look for that are not normal and when to go and talk to a doctor about your child's disobedience because there could be more traumatic underlying factors. I picked this article because I think that it will in a way give me some sort of solution to the problems parents go through, but it will also give insight on the idea that not all children have a normal disobedience problem. Sometimes it can be more than what the eye can see.

The Parents

"Why Are Children Disobedient", is an article written by Dale Harcombe in 2009. This article comes from a website by the name of families.com. In this article Dale explains how as parents we are disobedient and our kids do what we do. Kids tend to mimic everything that a parent does no matter what it is. She tells us that we all have an obligation to be obedient to God but a lot of times we brush off our responsibilities and do what we see find to be more fitting for our day. Dale also explains that kids a left to fend from themselves more and that parents are neglecting the responsibility of showing the children the appreciate actions that need to be taken.  I this is a great article because it gives a highlight on the things that parents need to change in order for their children to be obedient and not just what the children need to change. I would really like to look at things from both the Children's prospective and the Parents prospective.

Disobedient Children

In the society that we live in today children seem to be getting more and more disobedient. When I was a child kids were a little more obedient than they are now a days.They were even more obedient when my grandparents were kids. How did we get to this point and what has gone wrong with parenting for us to have gotten where we are now? I mean really a person can't walk into any store without hearing a child screaming for something, running around, or saying something such as "No" to their parents. WHY ARE KIDS IN THIS GENERATION MORE DISOBEDIENT THAN PREVIOUS GERENATIONS?
