Hanging out with my nieces/nephews I now understand most the discipline I received as a child was most likely because I was being annoying and nothing to do with right or wrong.

not everyone can do it

Also good to remember that almost nobody can do it everyday. It's definitely good to be consistent with one's approach, however all parents are human and will lose patience at times.

That's why they say 'it takes a village to raise one child.'

Kids don't have a brain filter. If they hear opera, they'll sing opera. If they hear cigarette commercials, that's what they'll sing.

edit = I picked the most obnoxious songs I could think of. Didn't think I'd start a nostalgia/mandala effect thread
