I’m a parent and my house is a no anger, no punishment house.
If a child isn’t behaving the way I expect, I start with the assumption that the full picture has not been explained to them of why they’re behavior doesn’t fit with what I/others expect.
Kids don’t start knowing everything, they need it explained.
Many parents show their kids a behavior is not ok by getting angry.
- spcebar 3y agoI respect responding to misbehaving constructively, but also letting your kids know that it's okay to feel a wide range of emotions is really important for healthy emotional outcomes. Anger is a bad parenting tactic, but also, anger is not an unhealthy emotion in and of itself. Suppressing anger is, at least according to some schools of psychology, a source of depression.
