This is a simple parenting test.
Ask yourself: Would this strategy work if your child were your size?
If the answer is no, you might not have a parenting strategy.
You might have a power advantage.
Many methods people call discipline only function because the child is physically weaker, emotionally dependent, and unable to leave.
That's not evidence of good parenting.
It's evidence of unequal leverage.
Leadership works because people trust you.
Domination works because they can't leave.
Children deserve better than methods that depend on their helplessness.
@astoundconnects is literally the worst internet company in existence. Who buries a cable 2” underground?! Nowhere near code. And now they won’t come fix it till next week? If you have the option to, avoid these people.
What sick perverted shit is this? Really? Equating physical punishment with love? What fuck? Why is there a fucking guide to physically abusing children. For fucks sake.
@SolomonOgh95647@DearS_o_n Mine admitted to witnessing the abuse and still chose my abuser over a relationship with his granddaughter. I don’t think that warrants forgiveness. Thanks for speaking that out. 🤝
@ubiquitousnewt@MBurtwrites@jlippincott It’s hilarious that when the spotlight is pointed at someone, they immediately try to deflect with insults and nonsensical points to distract from their lack of intelligence and critical thinking. Lots of self reporting child abusers today.
@MetalMeggs@tex_subby I took a respect everyone approach as an NCO. Got me shit from the “old Corps” guys for not being aggressive, yet my boys would do anything for me when I asked if it. Never had to raise my voice. Almost like mutual respect works or something…
If you're worried about the decline of masculinity, here's a radical proposal: Stop traumatizing future men.
I know, I know.
We've only tried it for a few thousand years, so maybe we need another century of yelling at boys, shaming emotions, shutting down vulnerability, normalizing physical punishment, and calling it character development.
Surely this is the generation where it finally starts producing emotionally healthy, confident, connected, purpose-driven men.
Any day now.
Or maybe boys become strong when they are guided, challenged, respected, loved, supported, and taught how to face reality without being emotionally crushed by the men who were supposed to keep them safe?
