Lying was also the number one spanking offense in our household and all of the boys knew it.

Having raised six children I could write a book on the subject.

One thing that most young parents fail to understand is how destructive it is when your children throw temper tantrums.

Your child is basically telling you "I am going to make your life hell until I get my way" in other words: it's passive rebellion.

It's not cute or "they are tired" or "strong willed" or anything else except it answers the question: who will be in control

Sadly most parents loss this battle
