However, I am not of the school that believes in completely ignoring poor behaviour. Children must immediately be told that whatever they were doing is unacceptable, otherwise how will they ever know? If it persists, there is no discussion but an immediate penalty should be enforced. Parents who allow their children to always give a reason for their bad behaviour are only encouraging them to make excuses and not accept responsibility for their actions, and this is just storing up problems for the future. Children must learn to accept the consequences of their actions, otherwise they will never accept blame, even when they clearly are to blame. The constant drone from teenagers of, ‘It’s not my fault,’ will in a way be correct, as they have never been taught to be responsible for their actions.
