Strict

I am a very strict parent, I can't help it, it is a natural part of my parenting. However I saw a child the other day that was obviously not aware of even being told off and had no obvious boundaries. This child was behaving very badly and her mother could not cope with her and looked close to tears. All children need boundaries and once these are worked out it is amazing what can happen within them. This morning Isabella dealt with me very well! I was getting frustrated and so Isabella very calmly spoke to me and resolved the issues. Likewise this afternoon she got frustrated and we spoke about it and everything was resolved. Due to our understanding of boundaries and rules Isabella is a very thoughtful and kind young lady. At the moment what we are doing as parents is working out. I can't stress enough however though that in ten years time she might hate us and have a million piercings!! But that is life!
