I'm no expert but I think having a strong nurturing bond with your children is the foundation for well behaved children. They return the love and respect they are given.....they want to please you. You spend an incredible amount of time with them. Quality time. Bonding time. Many rat race parents can't do that and it shows. The children are insecure and frustrated. They feel like an inconvenience and so treat the parent the same. Children reflect back what it directed towards them. Your children are HAPPY. Unfortunately, this is not the norm anymore.
