Parenting 101 Part 2

When Parenting Theories Backfire

I found this article particularly surprising. The book basically told mothers to give their children a choice without actually giving them a choice. It was meant to make children feel like they were getting a choice but still put the mother in control...but of course it backfired. As for this mother, her children seen that they were getting an upperhand and took advantage of it. They were adapting to how they were being parented and used the same method to manipulate the mother.
