Is Your Strictness Causing Secretive Behaviours in Your Kids

Published: June 27, 2023, 10 a.m.

b'This topic today came about because Rosie was talking to a good friend of ours about schooling options like public school, private school, and home school. He told us an interesting concept that you don\\u2019t want to be one of those parents that denies your children access to something like sugar cereals, and then they go to a friend\\u2019s house and scarf that kind of thing because they\\u2019ve been so deprived of it. Explaining to kids the reason why you have certain rules or why they should be doing certain things, and then working with them to create a healthy balance is the ideal action plan for preventing secretive behaviours.

  • Feeling bad and just wanting to do the right thing 2:00
  • Explaining why you\\u2019re doing what you\\u2019re doing 6:40
  • Kids just want more 9:40
  • Help them understand 14:50
  • Taking opportunity to discuss the \\u201cWhy\\u201d 23:05

\\u201cIf I\\u2019m taking [marshmallows] from the cupboard and one of the kids sees me, if they haven\\u2019t had a treat yet, I always automatically hand it to the child that has caught me because I don\\u2019t want to make a big deal about it. You don\\u2019t want to be secretive.\\u201d 19:14
