RE: Do Violent Video Games Actually REDUCE Violence and Crimes?!
That's a very interesting point of view, and in my opinion a great parenting style.
This example doesn't only work for violence, I also know some kids who would go crazy whenever there was free candy offered anywhere because their parents didn't allow any candy at home.
But other who just always had sweets in their cupboard didn't even feel the need to eat it if it was just laying there openly.
I think not having strict guidelines but instead teaching and having the kids understand WHY the rules are like that is the better approach.
I did have rules and my kids were not always happy they were there, but I told them "there is a reason for every rule", if you want me to explain any of them feel free to challenge me. IF it doesn't make sense or you can convince me then it will no longer be a rule.
