Time and time again I see shows like Super Nanny and Nanny 911 where parents are fed up with their childrens' behavior and seem at a loss as to how they got out of control. Yelling, hitting and cursing seem to be the only way the family communicates. Any who is leading the way - the parents! They scream at the kids and spank them if they act out in any fashion. Then they are shocked when the child hits their siblings.

I agree with this post completely - parents are the role model for their child and need to step up to that responsibility and teach their children how to behave as citizens of our community.
