Consistency is very important to succeed in any aspect of life. It is extremely important in raising and teaching children. For example, without consistency, children will never learn the joy of learning because they will not have the ability to take chances. This ability to "take chances" comes from the ability to feel safe at home and at school. When a child feels safe at home and at school, the child will be able to try new things and make mistakes.

Consistency can be very harmful to our children as well. For example, a child that is constantly ignored or neglected will mostlikely never take chances nor improve his/herselft.

Consistency, used properly, is the driving force of successful people and companies. This is why consistency is very important. Hence, consistency is one of the fundamental basics of success. Without it you will not succeed at all.

You know, consistency is over-rated. I like giving my kids EVERYTHING they
want, then backing out and watching them cry. Or if they want to do
something, I'll say no then laugh and let them literally walk over my back
on their way out the door. I mean what's a mother for? I'm just a silly
door mat, I might as well act like one. Duh.
