Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

Oh, this phase is nothing compared to the one sheâll go through when she actually IS 15, Elly. Iâve seen the future, and you have no idea whatâs coming!
Sheâs just being a typical toddler, the foreshadowing years of being a teenager. Fortunately, these are the years when they actually listen to you and respect you, so take advantage of it.
Not all kids go through these âphasesâ. Children are like little computers, you are the programmer, what you put in, you will get out. So if you raise your children properly, you wonât have the âterrible twosâ or a rebellious teen. Those âphasesâ are just a reflection of your parenting skills and the result of your programming. Like training a dog, the more time and effort you are willing to put in, the better the dog youâll end up with. Children need to be taught, if you leave them to their own devices, theyâll behave like wild animals, because essentially that is what they are. You reap what you sow.
In the King James Bible itâs written in Proverbs 22:6-âTrain up a child the way he will go, and when he is older he will not depart from it.â
This doesnât mean spaniking a child, but teaching him or her to walk straight on their own. And Lizzie is going through a mind-of-her-own stage. But sheâs a sweet little girl. You all saw how she turned out in her adult years-very well.
These strips ran , I think starting in the â60s, and increased exposure from a few Ontario papers, across Canada and the U.S. under thousands of mastheads.Lynn was one of the first cartoonists to introduce a gay character, the friend of her son, and also extended the lifespan of the strip by having a âsecondâ family after the first kids had grown.
Well said. I have the same experience with two people who grew up in the same household with the same parents but one turned out completelt unruly from childhood to adulthood and the other is very well behaved and has always been so.
âSpare the rod and spoil the childâ is a partial line from âHudibrasâ, an English mock heroic narrative poem from the 17th century written by Samuel Butler that is commenting on methods to control sexual passions,
The similar line from Proverbs 13:24 (King James Bible, 1611) reads âHe that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.â

Sheâs in the process of creating her own identity. This is where parenting skills kick in.

Elizabeth may only be 2 or 3 years old . . . but she appears to be way ahead of her years when it comes to the attitude department!
