Absolutely not. “Negotiation of relationships” practically means bullying and all sorts of antisocial and abusive behavior. There must be boundaries set by adults.
- Spivak 5y agoRight!? This person must have never been on the bottom of the social totem pole in school or I guess thought suffering traumatic abuse made them stronger or something. The power struggles of kids at that age are honestly more extreme than what adults face because kids are forced to interact, have low agency outside of play, and underdeveloped empathy.
- aqsalose 5y agoHow much of that totem pole exists just because kids are kids, or because of the arbitrary environment, imposed by the adults, wherein they find themselves?
- crooked-v 5y agoSee also various animal studies (like the wolf "alpha/beta/omega" stuff) that turn out to be total nonsense because the behaviors involved are the result of the animals crammed together in unnatural ways by humans.
- golemotron 5y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_parent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_parent "Helicopter parents are so named because, like helicopters, they "hover overhead", overseeing every aspect of their child's life constantly.[1][2] A helicopter parent is also known to strictly supervise their children in all aspects of their lives, including in social interactions." "study from the University of Florida found that helicopter parenting was associated with more emotional problems, struggles with decision-making and worse academic performance in a group of 500 students"
- Sharlin 5y agoFalse dichotomy. There's a fucking gradient there between helicoptering and total lack of rules and boundaries. Plus helicopter parenting is often the opposite of having boundaries anyway!
