I even did not noticed how quickly my children became orderly citizens and well respected fellows ...Unfortunately, they respect me so much that sometimes I force them to disagree with me... sometimes I wish they were more rebelious ....

I think it is important to have rules and discipline. Having said that - my father was very heavy handed and most of the times - looking back - it was unnecessary. I hope to be strict, but as Tanja says - I want my kids to know I love them even as I berate them. I don't want them to be ever scared of me the way I was of my dad. I think praise and encouragement is very important (not bribery). Gabriela, I am with you – I hate spoiled kids. I think it is important to have rules and discipline.

I just think that together with being strict one should not forget to give praises as well. I completely agree with you – I hate spoiled kids too!

My parents were cool and not sure how they did it but we did respect them and listen. It took only my mom's look and I knew what it means. I just became mom and I am planning to be strict with my son specially here in US. It is crazy when parents let do kids what they want -- kids need order and need listen adults not the other way around. I hope I can be strong about this because I hate spoiled kids. Hello all,

Your comment 'my brother and I would never do anything right' is very common with Czech parents (at least in the past it was). I guess they mean well, trying to push you harder to do better, but c'mon, how about some praise?? Hi Jana,

We would get a spanking only if we did not follow the 3 strikes your out rule. My dad would give you three chances. Obey him the first time he says whatever the second is a little sterner but the third is your last chance. If we did not obey our mom it would be same, she would say i am calling your father we would just jump. Another thing would be criticisms, my brother and I would never do anything right, we would have to listen to "You should do something right the first time" But at eight and ten you do not have the same life experience and they do not tell you how do things anything. They were really strict too. I have never had to be called to the principals office and always had an E(xcellant) for my behavior. Still do this day I do not like evaluations/critiques b/c I take it too personally but I do have a high tolerance of criticism. If I have children I would tell them I love you and give them hugs. In our family we do not do or say things like that but we do say "Budte opatrny" if driving somewhere. The church I go is very "huggy" at the welcome time so I sometimes dread it.

You must have been just really good kids - I mean you must have had that "good kid" gene (which your child unfortunately did not inherit :)!Your parents didn't even yell at you??? Hi Veronika,

That’s crazy! You must have been just really good kids – I mean you must have had that “good kid” gene (which your child unfortunately did not inherit :) !

We were never beaten or bribed. We never got rewards for being good. We were just 'good' because that was expected of us. Unfortunately, I don't know how my parents did it, coz my son is a real spoiled brat! Growing up in a czech household, we just respected our parents. We were never beaten or bribed.

That's why it is good to to practice words like "I don't know" even though it makes you feel vulnerable at times. It is good to feed the humble spirit at times ;)By the way, I like SUSA a lot!! :)) Yeah, but you cannot be ALWAYS right, that’s impossible!
