It’s NOT okay to completely lose control in front of your toddlers and make them part of your breakdown. If you need to scream - step away. Your children shouldn’t have to witness your emotional collapse. 😵💫 Being a mother means exercising self-control and not being so egocentric that you forget there are little people who depend on you and need you to act like the adult in the room.
“Words won’t stop bullying” is exactly what I disagree with. We talk to our kids for YEARS so empathy becomes part of who they are. Teach a child what illness means, why people lose their hair, how cruelty affects others. Then maybe one day instead of having their head shaved by force as punishment, they’ll shave it willingly to support someone who’s sick. THAT is the difference.
Good parenting doesn’t guarantee perfection, I agree, but let’s not pretend parents have zero influence once puberty hits😁 Values are built through years of example, guidance and conversation. If shaving a grown girl’s head on camera is your idea of great parenting, though - carry on. ❤️👋💋
Of course she doesn’t tolerate it. Good. But shaving her head on camera looks more like proving to the internet that “something was done”. Empathy is taught through YEARS of conversations, and not public humiliation. And humiliation doesn’t teach kindness - it breeds resentment. And resentment doesn’t anyone kinder. Capisce? 😉
@soigomaa Good for her for fighting to change the law. But “women should be able to wear anything, anywhere, without ever considering personal safety” is not a lesson I’d teach my daughter either. 🤔🤭
