I know I'm not the only one raised to believe that our elders were always right...and never wrong.  Well, I challenged this in my youth and these days I definitely know that just because we're "grown" does not mean we're always right. In my parenting style, this is how I'm handling that situation with my son.  Since we're breaking generational curses, it's important to apologize to our kids and show them that the apology is not enough...I demand changed behavior from my Little...and you should too.
