Why do parents allow one child to tease the other other child even when they know it is wrong and unfair??

It could just be that the parents are letting their growth take a natural path to begin with where both the kids have equal love and are open to making their own statement.\n\nIn a way it's a good training ground to prepare you for the real world.\n\nIt would be wonderful if the timid kid learns to defend himself voluntarily rather than just be protected and shielded by the parents. If he learns to stand up for himself it’ll help him when he really goes out in the real world because it’s a rough world out there.\n\nThough if this pattern continues without any change for the better then the parents must intervene to settle the issue. \n\nHope my perspective makes sense.\n\nTake care.

I blame the parents. They need to crack the yardstick. I got my rear smacked a few times and it made me be a better parent to my kids cause I didn't turn out to be some spoiled snot that thought I should be able to get away with everything. The T.V. and the web has plenty of filth that the kids have access to while Mom's at the career.Sorry, but if you plan a family I feel one parent should stay home and raise them and if you can't afford kids don't have them until you can or don't have more than one !

Parents can try and teach their young children how to behave but because kids that young don't have the brain development to understand WHY they need to be quiet the only way to insure obedience would be to physically punish them and even that might not work. Children and their parents shouldn't be penalized because the learning experience is rocky sometimes. Try and be a little more patient, especially because some children have disabilities like Autism which are not immediately apparent to the layperson and which may cause behavior that would look like they were "being a brat". As the mother of an Autistic three year old I can tell you that the dirty looks when my son is having trouble do not make this disorder easier to live with. I spend a lot of time teaching my son how to behave in public but he is just a little boy. Give us stressed out parents a break, huh?

Because parents do not instill any responsibility in their children.\nThey're more concerned about making sure they "feel good" and that they're friends instead of pilars of authority as they should be.

Parents are not over protective of their children. Yes, it is true that some parents are more cautious about the things they let their children do and see than other parents. No matter how much you try to protect children, you can't stop them from being hurt. I hope this helps.

Common sense..... well that went away at about the time it became unpopular to spank you child as a way of showing them right and wrong,which led to small children manipulateing their parents in public by screaming 'your hurting me" when they were not even being touched......self respect, oh there lot of self respect out there maybe just not enough respect for others.....common courtesy.......let see.... we are now in the "whats in it for me age" well there is absolutely no reward other than emotional in being nice to others....i sometimes wonder if we will get to the point of being deliberately mean just because we can (you know like slamming a door on someones face) I already say "was that truly necessary" alot more than i want to.

Has to do with personalities.....however, usually parents are much more relaxed and laid back with the second child. The first one they are nervous and want to do everything right.

Your kids are right now very vulnerable, and depending on you their mother, to feed them, nurture them,and love them a lot. I have seen parents mistreat their kids even in public places and it make me so mad to see them do that. Please have a little patience with them and ask God to give you, above all a lot of self control because it takes a lot to have it with two kids so near in age to each other. Good luck and may God be with you in the months and years ahead.

Definitely, children are always copying others especially their parents, and it would be great for them to copy good behaviour rather than bad, also I believe that's why there are so many problems with children these days as parents are too soft and do not teach them good values as well as the older generation!!

you created your daughter so why would you compete with her....the mom seems insecure to me.......she needs help maybe she feels that she is losing her touch....

Kids are able to manipulate parents around their fingers. Mainly cos parents think that their kids are as naive as them at that age and kids are getting smarter. I'm not just talking about teenagers. Kids as young as 3 years old are now scolding their parents and directing them. We are living in a screwed up, upside down world. The scariest part is that parents allow themselves to be ordered around.

Sadly Liz there is not much you can do except keep a cool head when around you is craziness and encourage both parents to talk, not yell or use spiteful abuse towards each other. Maybe then there is a chance if they can listen to each other, but always remember it's never the kids fault, the problem lies in their relationship. Goodluck I feel for u!

Sibling rivalry is kinda like they are trying to outshine one another. And not necessiarly arguing for their parent's love and to have one parent love one more than the other. It's just a competition for the both of them. It's totally normal. I have a twin, so its double. Sit your nieces down, explain to them that they have sibling rivalry and find out why they are fighting constantly.

This is where we must respect the race of people. I mix around with alot of different races. We can criticise our own race, make jokes about it but we have got to treat the other race with respect.\n\nIt's like your own house, you can scold your brother or sister maybe even your parents but you'd never give an outsider the same allowances. \n\nTell it straight to your son, for one race to joke about certain words, we must give them allowance but we cannot afford ourselves the same liberties.\n\nKids always want logical explanations but as an adult, we know thats how life is, some things cannot be explained in black and white.

Because society has taught (slowly)and accepted over the years that everything else made someone do something because of either someone else or something else. Never taking responsiblity for their own actions. I drive a school bus and have come across MANY,MANY mother's who refuse to accept that their child misbehaved in any way shape or form. You can tell them that their son/daughter threw a book, hit the other kid, tripped them etc, etc and you tell the Mom at the bus stop and they look you in the eye and say, "Well, the other kid must have done something for my child to hit, trip, push the other kid" OR, she/he is tired, was not feeling well etc.I would say 90% of the hundreds of different kids I have come across over the past years fall into the catagory of "it's not my fault" Then the other 10%, the parents will say " I don't care what reason you did that, it was wrong". So, with a good majority of kids being raised with "it's not my fault", they grown into adults, have children and wa-la, we have the Not My Fault Generation.
