RE: Parents Should Nurture Freethinking and Disobedient Children
You could not be more accurate on the outcome of those who were abused. I grew up in a time when people did not care, or think twice about what they were doing. The outcome it had on me was the inability to trust anyone and for years made me suffer very low self-esteem. I vowed to change/break that cycle with my own child, and I hope gets passed down from him too. A little part of me still is on the side of discipline (as a last resort). I hope it is not so ingrained in me that I cannot teach him how to raise kids without physical pain. Kids learn by mistakes they make just as much as they learn from positive outcomes (hope that makes sense).. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us @sterlinluxan
You are welcome, Pixie. And I want to thank you for divulging such personal information. Because of your ability to self-disclose your experiences, it makes you a valuable asset to this community. Thank you for sharing your understanding and knowledge. I look forward to your responses on my posts.
Keep practicing peaceful parenting, and your last resorts will be less and less!
The last resort outcome has been hindsight for almost 10 yrs now for us. It's just the single digits that I found hardest as they are at the testing limits age. I truly hope these posts help others, especially when someone can talk about their own experiences.
