Most children don't behave 100% of the time. Not unless they were manufactured by the stepford wives they don't.

What would you do?

Stop trying to pretend there doesn't exist kids who are a problem no matter how good a parrent you are. Genetics my friend, we are all different.

I work with someone who has 2 perfect kids, brilliant well behaved. The third kid is currently in a cell, was caught for burglary. She is at her wits ends as she has tried everything she can think off. Her other kids are fine so why has this one gone bad? If it was bad parenting why aren't they all bad?
I don't dodge questions. My children don't run off because I watch them. I pay attention to what they are doing. When they start to walk of I ask them where they are going. If it is my 4 year old I tell him to come back beside Daddy and don't wonder off without asking me to go somewhere. This way he does not feel like he has no freedom yet he knows to let me know what ever he does. This pays off in the long run because they talk to me about their problems and plans.


Your friend's daughter must be a teenager. Things change at that age. They have more influences than just their parents. I thought we were talking about toddlers here. If you want to put your teenager in a harness......


This has nothing to do with genes. You do not have genes that make you bad. You learn everything you do. If as a parent you teach your kids what you want in a way that they are comfortable learning you will never have problems with them as young children. Like I said, teenagers are a different story but if you raise them right and keep them in a good environment and stay active in their life you shouldn’t have too many problems there either.
