I wish I knew how my parents got my "respect of authority". I was never hit, other than a "pop" to the bottom or a light knuckle to the head, but if I did something wrong, I felt guilt before they even knew it happened. My dad would just need to look at me differently and I knew it was time to straighten up. My mom just had to change her tone of voice and we knew...Maybe it was the nuns in grade school that put the fear of another "authority" in me?
My daughter is will be 4 in July and I can tell she will be a handful for us for many years to come. (everyone she encounters tells us that too) I hope I can instill the same respect of authority in her. By the way, she will not complain about her first car...how could she, I'm driving it right now and she loves to ride it now.
