Nobody can say that parenting is such an easy task. Remember, parenting is never as easy as you would think it is going to be.

TEACH YOUR KIDS SELF-RELIANCE

Upon learning to take on responsibility, your child will be self-sufficient.

GET MORE COMPLIANCE FROM YOUR CHILD.
To be able to get to the next place with your child, make it fun - If your child is the type that has troubles with changes and becomes oppositional, you can ask him/her to hop like a kangaroo to the door, or even have their favorite thing waiting in the car for them thus providing cooperation from you child. Instead you could put it this way, "Would you do your chore/s before or after school today?", in order to gain cooperation from your child. A example of positive communication is, when your child asks "Can I watch TV now?" If your initial response to allowing your child to watch TV is "No, you can't watch TV right now, try saying, "You can watch right after dinner".

Of course, parents initial reactions might be of rage about the actual cost of the designer clothes, but come to think of it take yourself back in time reliving your school days, how you felt when you wanted to wear the latest clothes. Oh, sure parents have been through difficult years or so, and then of course they know a lot better compared to our children, what we must keep in mind is that times have changed and what was be right for them in the past may not be right for their children.
