Lack of discipline is certainly part of the problem. The other root cause of a lot of this behaviour is the food that many kids eat these days.

Processed junk, rammed with sugar, salt and chemical additives sends little bodies and minds totally crazy.

I have very close involvement with my daughter's upbringing (I'm one of the few men here who works part-time so I can look after my child). But I have had to be very strict with my maid to stop her shovelling sweets into my daughter when I can't be around.

You only have to notice the appalling level of childhood obesity here to realise that a lots of kids are eating very bad food and not getting any excercise. Hence the screaming madness before bedtime.

Shame on the parents - pity the poor children.
