Letting them play on PCs because they want to, is likely to discourage them from doing active things.
The parent is responsible for the well being of that child and, as the child is unable to make informed decisions, doing what the child wants is preventing that!
We should make the child view getting what they want,as a reward for doing something right..... not as a means to win their love or make them stop asking, as many people do these days!
How can we produce kids that can look after themselves, if we have taught them that all they have to do is ask, to get what they want?
Hi
I can see where you are coming from, but responsible parents do not do that.
It is the irresponsible who do that.
You cannot deny them treats, but treats must be earned.
As far as sexuality is concerned, they find their own level.
You teach them respect for their own bodies.
Both my daughter and Nadi decided to close the bathroom door when they went to the Loo at aged four.
Good on them.
Nadi is still happy to run around topless at home with family, aged 8.
She covers up as soon as a stranger arrives, same as my daughter did.
That , to me, is responsible parenting
