Why should parents teach their kids that no means no, and be consistent about it? So that the child can grow up to be a well adjusted member of society and learn to deal with disappointment.
You don't have to say no to your kid all the time or deprive them of anything they want, but they SHOULD learn that they can't get their way just because they pressured their parents into it.
The are of consistency is no different in child rearing than from dog training. Sometimes you just have to be a bit more creative.
Also... I see the age of the parent as NO excuse. As matter of fact i think an older first time parent should have more wisdom from more years of experience listening to others.

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
