> Can you restate that for me Definitely. I appreciate when someone asks for clarity. The part I was talking about was “denying the child the satisfaction” as in the parent intentionally frustrating the child to teach them a lesson. I tried to take a shortcut by using the same wording as the person I replied to but I can see how that made it unclear. The point I meant to make is that if a parent uses that technique to teach lessons in that way it’s likely that the child learns to use that technique themselves and turn it on the parent. Further: If a child learns this type of technique from a parent it can be very hard to stop them from using it.
