How a child is raised is so important.

Let me first say I don’t have chick nor child but I’m sure you have heard the saying “you don’t have to own a car to know how to drive one.”

A well-raised child is such a pleasure. They are mannerly and pleasant to be around and typically grow up to be good citizens. After observing many children and from my experience of being a child I have determined a few things. Discipline. Children must be reprimanded. A child who talks back and hits and bites the parent is not cute. That type of behavior must be nipped in the bud. If you don’t the child will be running your household.
