Support Each Other

Children have a natural tendency to try to get their own way. It is part of human
nature. Often children will look for "chinks" in the armour. If they can get one
parent to give in, they can find success. If children find in their household that
they can "divide and conquer," they will do so. Parents protect your children
by supporting each other and staying strong and consistent with rules and
discipline. You can disagree in private, but in the eyes of your children
you should be indestructible. This consistency will provide security for you
children. When children know what to expect from their parents and when
their parents support each other, children find peace.
