Lazy, domineering parents pull commands and treat their kids like subservient beings.

Here’s an idea – Why not just take your time and explain to a child WHY it is important that they sit? Kids are not daft robots.

When you show loving respect to your kid, it actually creates a ripple effect and also shows them the importance of WHY it would be BEST for them to do certain things in a certain manner.
