"The way to keep your child in check has to start at the home. If you want to manage your children well in public you had better be sure to manage them consistently at home. Your kids have to know that your words mean something. If you never follow through with what you say you are going to do then you simply become a liar in their eyes."

You know I'm always a fan of consistent parenting!
I think that is one of the hardest things as a parent. A very good post and I appreciate the line about how your children will see you as a liar if you don't follow through. Gives you some perspective.
A great reminder! And a good reason to not make myself feel bad if I think I'm being too hard on her while we're at home. It's the only way she will know how to behave all the time. Parenting may be fun, but it is not easy!
