Guide with consistent approach

Every child must be guide by an appropriate adult. So the person who has contact with must his guiding skill. Now here I would like to write a problem which I notice every where. Mainly I see this problem in houses where, there are more than one adult to guide the child. The adults give importance to their own opinion and use their own method. So the child finds it difficult to understand which is the correct way. The adults must speak together and select a consistent method to guide the child.

Four year old Tim had finished cutting papers and painting them. Now he was tired. he came out of the room and cried, "mummy, I am hungry." Sara,his mother peeped into his room and started to shout, " Tim, how many times I told you to tidy up your room after cutting papers." "Oh! Mummy, I do it later. Now I am hungry," begged Tim. "No, you must tidy it up it right now," cried the mother.

"Oh, Sara don't be so rude. He is so small to tidy up his room. Let him have his lunch," told Tim's grand father.

"Don't get angry Sara. I tidy up his room instead of him,"Told Tim's grand mother.


"Tim, come. We'll tidy up the room together," Tim's father held Tim's finger and brought Tim to his room. Then he started to tidy up the room. Tim join with him to tidy up the room. The room was tidied up very quickly. Then Tim and his father went happily to the dining table.

There are four people try to guide Tim. What is missing here? The consistent approach is missing here. The adults are using their own method to guide Tim. Though Tim's father has selected the correct way to guide Tim, it may not be more effective because, there is no consistent approach.
