Passage Educator methods, such as not buying toys for children who act up, do not always work. I personally think that even though parents teach their children many things, they should not act like teachers all the time. After my educator methods failed, I spent some quality oneonone time with my daughter with NO lecturing about her behavior. For example, we went out for ice cream. While we sat and ate, we spent a long time watching other people and talking about the things around us. Then we went to a bookstore where she looked for a book to buy. It took her a long time, but I was patient. We finally bought her a book and finished our outing together. At the end, we decided to have similar outings once a month, because it really was fun. My main goal was to let her know that I love her. Homework Long conversation M: Grandma, Grandpa tells me I plain too much about my chores. Do you think he has a point?

M: And he just kept going like this? W: That39。 s right, Jerry. By the end of the month, he had $20. M: Wow! No wonder Grandpa says young people plain too much! Your generation worked much harder!
