Then, even if you haven't uncovered the reason, you should begin to make firm decisions and practice responding to your children's requests in a prompt, definite manner.
Once you turn over a new leaf, you can't expect to change completely right away. You are bound to fluctuate at times. The key is to be satisfied with gradual improvement, expecting and accepting the occasional slips that come with any change. And even after you are handling these decisions in a firmer and more confident manner, you can't expect your children to respond immediately. For a while they'll keep on applying the old pressures that used to work so well. But they'll eventually come to respect your decisions once they learn that nagging and arguing no longer work. In the end, both you and your children will be happier for it.然后，即使没能找出原因，你也应该开始作出果断的决定，试着对孩子的要求作出迅速明确的反应。
一旦你改变了以往的做法，你也不能指望马上有效果。有时你肯定会摇摆不定。关键是你要对逐渐的进步感到满足，要预见到并接受可能伴随这种改变而来的偶尔失误。还有，即使你以更坚定、更自信的方式实施着你的决定，也不能指望你的孩子会马上作出反应。在一段时间内，他们会继续对你施加曾经很有效的、老一套的压力。但一旦他们知道不停的抱怨和争论再也不起作用时，他们最终会尊重你的决定。这样做的结果是：你和你的孩子都会感到比以前更加开心。
