kids are not slaves You cnt** always** be strict with them. And if good behavior is not rewarded, or treated any differently than bad behavior then why should the kid behave well?
Also, you are sometimes going to get lucky and get kids who are just polite no matter what and then you will get kids that are just rude and bratty no matter how much you discipline them or try to reason with them.
Kids these days are much smarter and clverer than kids long time ago. They know things and understand things at almost exactly the same level as adults. If you treat a kid with respect and not insult their intlligence, they will respond.

perhaps you misread what I wrote…I never said ALWAYS…i said be strict when it comes to disrespecting the parents (because a child will do it again and again if you let it slide)…and that’s just for me personally. There are somethings parents can be stern about and somethings parents should let go of. If a parent is strict about everything…then their very chid will grow up resenting them. Rewards should be given for bringing home good grades, for doing chores…not for respecting your parents…that’s just something they should know they have to do no matter what.

Every child is different and every child should be dealt with accordingly…for some rewards wont work for others it might. For others speaking to them “politely” and in a lovingly way may work and for others it wont.
