There can be all kinds of problems that cause kids to misbehave. We have adopted kids, and they’re unattached which causes them to be controlling and not have a conscience. You can’t just say it’s because the parents don’t care, or are lazy. Sometimes (quite often) that’s true, but not always.

Wow this pic is alarming! surely their parents can see it’s not normal? even if they are overweight themselves. I think there isn’t just one answer – i’m sure the parents to these kids in the pic do love them, but perhaps they are fooling themselves with the old ‘ runs in the family/genetic’ argument because to actually think they are doing it themselves with what they are feeding them is too painful to admit. Worse are the parents who just really aren’t nice human beings themselves – no kind of social responsibility or empathy with others, and their kids just learn it all from them. Often these parents couldn’t give a monkeys about their kids – and maybe their own parents didn’t give a monkeys about them either. unfortunately not something that is easily solved.

Is it weird if a dad kisses his son to sleep and say "I love you" before he goes to bed?

Thanks for the interesting post. It is really sad to see children of this unhealthy weight. I look forward to reading more posts from you in the future.

Looking at your picturs your stated question has to answered with no. Do the people not recognisze that children in a similar age are very agile and quite more active? Recognizing this must lead to a corresponding activity – doesn’t it?

You have to let your child know what is right and wrong, even if you feel like the biggest shit on earth after you been angry to your kid, I know because this is how I feel after been angry to my children. I love my children and this is the most valuable I have but if I’m not telling them what is right or wrong who will do?

I completely agree with steph’s comment. Children need discipline. I don’t have kids myself, but I notice a huge difference in the behaviors of my sisters children vs. my brother’s children. My sister’s children are well behaved because their parents won’t let them get away with bad behavior. My brother and his wife, on the other hand, are too soft when it comes to disciplining their children, and you can tell the difference by the way their children behave.

I think parents screw up their kids because they don’t want to give them “tough love” when it is needed. They don’t realize that the short term pleasures they give their kids often lead to long term pain.

Nice topic.

It all depends upon the parents. Every parent has a mindset. If they were exposed to such behaviors, they will forward it. If not then children will adopt it some how.

I think parents are called parents because they are guardians of every thick and thin of their kids life (until and unless they reach a certain age). This does not mean keeping them in cold storage till puberty.

Keep them informed yet warn them of consequences of bad habits and encourage them to perform good ones.
