https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5 How much control do George and Lydia have over their children? Is this a good or a bad thing? Explain your reasoning. Support your response with evidence from the text. en-us 2018-02-28 00:24:22 UTC 2025-12-13 11:01:28 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238280492 George and Lydia have very little control over their children I know this because when they they do something the kids do not like the kids scream, cry and curse, and the parents can not do anything to stop it. This si a bad thing because i means that the kids can do whatever they want for example something dangerous and the parents wont be able to stop the kids.]]> 2018-03-05 18:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238280492 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238280847 George and Lydia do not have much control over their children, this is a bad thing because all they do is give them almost everything they want. The text claims that the parents try to give their children the best life by giving them everything they want. This explains how spoiled the parents and children are. Also the text states that when told no the children throw a fit. This is because the children don’t know how to react when told no, emphasizing the point that the parents have no control over the children.]]> 2018-03-05 18:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238280847 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238281103 I think that George and Lydia had too little control over their children. It’s a bad thing because George and Lydia couldn’t prevented many things in the text like, letting the kids into the nursery, letting the kids think about death and more. In the text, George and Lydia couldn’t stop Peter and Wendy from going into the nursery. This caused George and Lydia’s death. They were unaware of what could happen, they were being ignorant around their children. If they had more control, then they would not have been eaten. Also, George listened to Lydia when she asked for the kids to go in the nursery one more time. George’s small amount of control slipped and changed everything.]]> 2018-03-05 18:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238281103 mattkingoflolz12345 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238281394 George and Lydia don’t even have a bit of control over their children. This is a horrible thing. They did let their children go alone to a carnival in the middle of the city where dangers lurk, where the children can get kidnapped, or killed. Not to be violent, it’s just an example. Also, in the middle of the night, after George and Lydia banned the children from going into the nursery, the children broke into it, and the parents didn’t even                      care one bit.

George and Lydia have no control over there kids. In the text the parents try to shut down the nursery many rimes but the kids won’t have any of it. Also when they finally do shut it down the kids yell scream get out of control over it and the parents simply can’t stop them. Lastly the  father says we have given them every thing they wanted and this is our reward secrecy disobedience.

This is proved when Peter disrespects his father and the parents say that their children treat them like their offsprings. This is bad. One way it is bad is that due to the parents’ lack of control over their children they died because even though the parents told the children not to play in Africa multiple times, they didn’t enforce this rule, allowing the children to “train” the lions to eat their parents. Another reason this is bad is that the children grew more and more attached to the nursery getting used  to getting what they want when they want it, making it more and more likely for them to not listen to their parents.]]> 2018-03-05 18:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238282290 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238282474 George and Lydia do not have much control over their children, this is a bad thing.  This is because on page. 99 it says “ A moment later they heard screams. 2 screams. 2 people screaming from downstairs. And then a roar of lions. ‘Wendy and Peter aren’t in their rooms,’ said his wife. He lay in his bed with his beating heart. ‘No,’ he said. ‘They’ve broken into the nursery.”’ This shows that George and Lydia don’t have enough control over the children that they break into the nursery strictly when they told them they can’t go into the nursery. :l]]> 2018-03-05 18:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238282474 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238282629 George and Lydia have very little and almost no control over their children ( Wendy and Peter). I have an understanding of this because in the text it claims “ The children come and go as they please.” This illustrates that they do not have any authority over their children. This is one example of how George and Lydia have no control over the children.

In the text they even say “They come and go when they like; they treat us as if we were offspring.”. George and Lydia let thier children do whatever they wanted for way too long.]]> 2018-03-05 18:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238282673 sg502100 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238282805 George and Lydia do not have much control over their children, this is a bad thing because it can cause problems in the further as it happened to them at the end of the story. In the text, it says nothing is to good for their children. This shows how they keep spoiling their children too much that they start throwing tantrums and won’t behave. Another example is that they weren’t monitoring their kids as much too keep them safe and if they were watching over their kids then they wouldn’t be thinking about death and harming their parents.]]> 2018-03-05 18:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238282805 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238283705 George and Lydia almost have no control over thier children. This is a bad thing beucase every parent needs to have control over their parents. I think George and Lydia have almost no control over thier children because in the text it states, that the children come and go whenever they want. Also the children just do what they want, they broke into the nursery when their parents said not to. ]]> 2018-03-05 18:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238283705 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238283895 George and Lydia do not have much control over their children and this is a bad thing because all the parents do is give their kids all they want. In the text it states “We’ve given the children everything they ever wanted. Is this our reward—-secrecy, disobedience”. This shows how the parents can’t control their children because they give the children everything and why it is bad because the children don’t behave the way they are suppose to with their parents. This is why George and Lydia don’t have much control over their children and it is a bad thing.]]> 2018-03-05 18:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238283895 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238284040 George and Lydia do not have much control over their children. This is a bad thing because the kids think they can do anything they want even if it is bad. In page 99 the kids directly disobey their fathers orders and break into the nursery. The parents cannot get the kids to listen to them or do what they tell them. ]]> 2018-03-05 18:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238284040 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238286963 George and Lydia didn’t have much control over their children. In the text it says that they broke in the nursery and they didn’t care about this which then this lead to their death. They got eaten by lions.]]> 2018-03-05 18:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238286963 kd507119 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/agfbgk35vzk5/wish/238287130  In simple terms, NONE. I would say they have completely no control over their children  because in the text, Peter and Wendy go to a fair, saying that they were going to be late, and the parents absolutely ignored the fact that they were going to be possibly HOURS late.  If I were them I would tell them they should be home by dinner time or you’ll be grounded.
