Parenting is not easy as you thought, for this reason treat your kids as adults!
Children are not as dumb as you think; they are intelligent and alert, even if they are not fully conscious. As a parent, you should treat your child as an adult, and he/ she requires an explanation of every detail that he or she may be confused about.
It is worth mentioning that children might not do everything just because their parents say so. They wanted simple and clear explanations for everything is happening at home.
