What ever happen to "kids will be kids" or "boys will be boys?" I remember back when my brothers boys where small they do things and is say "your sons rude!" Then shortly after I had a son of my own and now fine myself allowing him to do the same. Because he's just a kid.
We parents are always contradicting ourselves. At one end we want our kids to grow up slow- take their time their only a kid once. Then on the other end, we reprimand them and punish them when they are just being kids.
Today my 9 year old "pants" a friend. Yeah sure its inappropriate behavior for school and he shouldn't had done it. But shoot, those things are funny to kid their age - boys goof off and do silly things to one another all the time. And the beauty of it is, they never hold grudges - stay upset. They shake hands and move on. My son school made a huge deal out of it. When in reality, nothing's wrong with my son. He gets good grades, is a thoughtful student and behaves well. Is the other kids parent that can't teach their kid to just have fun, be a kid.
Is no wonder these kids are seeing psychologist and on medicines before the they hit the double digits. Parents are making zombies of their children.
