This is a question that thousands of parents face every day. There are many solutions to this problem; some have proven to be successful Cheap Matthew Dellavedova Jersey , and others have not. As a Christian writer and mother of three children, I will share one option that really works; (it worked in our home) therefore it is not a theory, it is a proven solution to the problem of rebellion. I had to learn these lessons the hard way, but thankfully I learned them in time to take care of the rebellion problem while my children were young.


When and where does rebellion start?


Rebellion in the home starts slowly but gains momentum as it continues. Like a snowball, it first starts with a handful of snow; but as it rolls down the hill, that innocent little ball of snow gets bigger and bigger. You may be lking at a child that is rebellious and you are wondering how this happened when just yesterday shehe seemed to be so gd. It wasn't just since yesterday; rebellion takes place over time. The rebellious actions and attitudes may not have been referred to as rebellion until they got out of hand and so big everyone is affected.


With your child Cheap Thon Maker Jersey , think for a minute? when did the rebellion start? I will use the Cute Puppy story to help you pinpoint when it may have started.


The Cute Puppy


Place yourself as the mom in this story: Once upon a time there was a stray puppy that came to your dr, and because he was so cute you fed him. The next day this cute puppy, with sad eyes, comes to the dr and this time you let your children feed him. The third day the cute puppy doesn't lk so sad anymore - he is now wagging his tail because he knows he has found a friend. The fourth day you feed the cute puppy and let him inside for a nap.


One small thing had been overlked - the family rule of ?no pets in the house.? Your husband had requested that the family set this rule after a new sofa had to be bought because the old one had been soiled by the family dog. The dog had since died, but the rule had been forgotten. The fifth day the cute puppy comes to the dr wagging his tail and this time you let him come in to eat, take a nap Cheap D. J. Wilson Jersey , and play awhile. After all he is so cute and the kids are having so much fun? what could be wrong with having him in for a little while? After an hour or so you say, ?We need to take the puppy outside before your father comes home.? ?Oh Mom,? the kids cry, 'let him stay in just a little longer; he is so cute and we are having so much fun.? You agree to allow him to stay just a little longer by saying, ?only if you will not let him up on the couch, you remember how your father feels about that.? ?Ok Cheap Vin Baker Jersey , we won't? the kids say.


But no matter how cute a puppy is, it is a puppy, and a puppy will do what puppies do. As the games continue, the puppy jumps up on the couch to get a ball. ?Mom, come lk at how he jumps to get the ball.? The kids cry, ?He is the cutest puppy.? But before anyone could stop it Cheap Ray Allen Jersey , you guessed right, he lifts up his cute little leg and? oh no, what do we do? Dad was due home any minute and the sofa was wet, and the living rm smelled like a dog.


You have a great idea, ?Ok kids, we will go out for dinner and call someone to come over and clean the sofa while we are gone.? This seemed to be a gd way to deal with the problem. Dad doesn't get mad Cheap Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Jersey , you are off the hk, the kids are happy, and the cute puppy still has a home.


What really happened that day?


A seed of rebellion was planted.


The kids were taught that it is ok to break a family rule.
They learn to disrespect Dad, and that his requests really do not matter.
They learned if something feels gd and it is fun, just do it.
They learned to find a way out of trouble.
They learned to cover things up, what Dad doesn't know won't hurt him.
