Parenting ways

Adriana's group is presenting to the class about parenting styles. I believe that the ways kids were raised back then and the way they are raised now have DEFINATELY changed. The way i was raised would seem like torture to kids who are being raised now. In the article "Ineffective parenting techniques" it shows how sayings that parents would tell us are now not affective. When i was younger, if my mom had to tell me something again i would either get a beating or i would get punished. Most of the times, my mother wouldn't even have to say anything, she would just give me a stern look and i knew to stop whatever i was doing because i knew the consequence wouldn't be good. I feel like the way that kids are being raised today are in spite of how some parents were raised. Some kids tell me that they will never treat their kids like their parents did. Or they would never act like their parents. I feel like because of letting kids not have any punishments , they feel free to do whatever they want. With little kids, if you tell them to do something that they don't want to do, they usually have a tantrum. Now if my mom would of told me to stop i would of stopped. Today, if kids have tantrums and their parents tell them to stop , they won't. And in order for parents to make their kids stop having a tantrum, they just tell them never mind or try to make them feel better. I think that parents try to be their kids best friend instead of being a parent. You can be your child’s best friend but at least know where to draw the line.  I just feel like the reason why some children are out of control are because of these different parenting ways.
