20 Minute Rule for Children

somernight by somernight Talking(May 2008) (rank 155th)

Sometimes Children and Parents get to heated in an argument or disagreement

This goes for children 4-18    When this is going on no one is listening to what the other has to say

and on both sides this is not fare. We as parents are not always

right but when we are upset its WELL IM YOUR (dad or mom)

and what I say goes. This does not show our children that we are listening to there concerns.

first we should never argue with our children but it happens and if it does and gets out of hand

we as adults should say to our kids when we are not in an argument , If we are arguing and feel you need a time out ask for 20 min

then lets meet back here to finish our TALK that way it gives both sides time to think without saying things we really don't mean.

Because our children do need to be heard even though we may be right and they need to understand why we do what we do

There not stupid just to young to get it without an explanation
