"Heather Kepler, Kevin's teacher at Camp Fire Family Center Child Care in Fort Worth, said many children are not being taught how to express themselves, and their parents are not setting appropriate limits and boundaries, or being consistent with discipline.
The little ones scream, kick, hit and throw things at school. "
They are being taught how to express themselves -- their parents are out in the street cursing the President, getting arrested for throwing paint on people wearing fur coats, and being dragged away in handcuffs for throwing rocks at men with guns.
What this teacher meant to say is "These children are being taught to express themselves INAPPROPRIATELY." And as Supernanny and everybody's granny already knows, the little brats crave limits and structure -- knowing that when they do "A", "B" will follow every single time; they need a schedule, and an example, and swift and certain justice. From the day they are born. Most of all they need to know that they didn't create the universe and they don't turn the crank, and it doesn't revolve around them. Too many of these brats are only children whose middle aged parents are hanging onto their childhoods through Junior and Susie.
It's not the children who need Supernanny. It's the mothers.
Very well said..
I have nothing to add..
