New school versus old school parenting.

Hello friends welcome to my blog

There's this saying that goes like this Spare the rod and spoil the child, Do you think this is still valid in this new school parenting?

Sure, it's still valid; the rod in this contest, I feel, is not just using a cane on a child, but correcting them through advice, talking sense into them, teaching them what to do right, setting good examples for them to follow and whipping them when necessary. All could do something not sound sweet to the child, but if you spare the rod for them not to feel ba,d, you end up spoiling the child.

Children are lovable and innocent creatures who sometimes do things wrongly and feel they are right. An adult, parents or guardian must correct them. In correcting them we are to choose any method that works best. If we spare rods or fail to put them right now, it becomes a problem in future for the family and society.

Do you think Old school parents were too strict compared to new school parenting?

Old school parents were strict but worth it. Although there were lots of healthy opportunities kids were not given, old school parenting did not give kids a chance for questioning, you do not ask the question "why" like the way, kids of these days ask and are given answers which I think is necessary to answer so that the kid will know why you have asked him or her touch something or go to a place.

Sometimes, I feel angry when my kids ask me "why" I don't want them to visit some places, recalling how we didn't ask a question when we were given instructions back then. But I just control myself to be calm and give them the answer, and they understand and never ask to go there again.

which one were you raised ? Do you think you were raised right .

I was raised by old-school parents; I missed that parenting style. A lot of things have gone wrong this day. Will I say parents pamper their kids these days, giving them lots of privileges to misbehave and forget that they are young and need to be guided and moulded well at this stage of their life?

Yes, I was raised well with the old school parents, which I am inculcating to my kids, but with ease, unlike our strict person. The moral of old-school parents keeps you outstanding. I can't enter a place without greeting people I might in there. That is courtesy, but kids these days come into a place filled with adults and never care to say hello, which is wrong; some of them come in with their parents, and the parents are never bothered by the child's behaviour.

Do you think we should go back to old-school parenting or stick to new school parenting.

I think we should go back to the old school parenting when any person can correct a child without their parents coming to fight you for teaching a child what is right when you can talk to a child with an eye sign and he or she understands and behaviour will without asking you "mummy why are you looking at me like that", When a child goes out of their home and still behaviour well like when they are home even without their parent's supervision. In fact, there is a long list of things that have gone wrong with new school parenting.

I will say I get irritated with lots of misbehaviours in new school parenting. I think we should go back to old-school parenting with some ease on strictness and give kids an explanation of why we want them to do things right for a better understanding and to adhere to our instructions so they don't just obey us out of fear or intimidation.
