Parent Enablers

Parents too often are friends to their child rather than a parent.   Parents need to realize that it is okay for thier children to be mad or upset with them at times.  I have witnessed how parents and children interact at my school.  Some students get whatever they want.  Some students call home during the day because they forgot their lunch or text book or homework and the parents run right to school and deliver it to them.  How are kids going to learn responsibility this way?  The answer is, they won't!
