All children will try to test boundaries, but today there just don't seem to be any boundaries.

Respect is not something that you can add onto a childs education......it has to be taught from babyhood....and really the people who most influence a child are its parents.

I was in town recently when a young woman in charge of a child of roughly 2 years of age, (who hadn't got hold of the childs hand) shouted at the child 'Are you F*****G stupid' when the child strayed into the path of a car on the car park......now that wasn't respect for the child,(after all it really wasn't the childs fault) and the child is going to grow up thinking that this is behaviour that is acceptable.

No parenting skills= no discipline= no respect = anarchy.
Abd this I think, strikes to the vary root of the problem. Of course children do not have respect if they are not shown any.

This is the reason why so many children arrave, at five years old, at school completely out of control.l
This also the reason those three thugs kicked a guy to death for daring to tell them off for damaging his car!

Parents have to accept the blame and if they do not they must be made to do so.
