We need to stop the erosion of parental authority.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The government cannot overcome bad parenting. What our leaders can do is publicly condemn irresponsible parental behavior in vivid terms.
We need to be a leadership position about protecting minors on the Internet and, more importantly, giving the parents the tools they need to protect them.
It amazes me that parents are allowed to raise kids. There's so much power and often very little accountability.
As much as you don't like disciplining your kids, you have to sometimes. Kids want that structure, that leadership, that guidance. I think that's what I try to give my children.
It is time for us to focus on the issues that bring us together as a nation. Supporting parents' capacity to raise their children with the love and resources they need is simply the right thing to do.
It's very important that we instill some respect for the parents. In America especially, the kids are unruly, screaming at Mommy and Daddy, running the show.
Parents are to be respected - it Is a commandment from God.
It is the uninvolved parent who has to resort to strictness.
There's so much that can influence kids and young adults now, you just have to raise them the best you can and hope they make the right decisions.
Questioning authority is, I think, a great thing to instill in children. I just didn't have enough of that when I was little.
