One thing I've noticed is that most parents, will say and do the craziest things when it comes to teaching their kids about good behavior and discipline, but they'll barely acknowledge or encourage the good deeds and the talent their kid holds naturally.
They'll scold and probably beat the shit out of the kid, when the kid is being mischievous, but they'll barely show any signs of love and care when the kid actually does something good. Then one day, when that kid grows up, the parents will wonder why their kid is slowly distancing themselves from their parents.
Sometimes these parents do realize what they've done wrong, but by then, it's just too late; the damage done is too deep, engraved into the mind and skin of the child.
True! My mom was like this, she called the grooming process but I never liked it at all.
Encouraging and appreciating the small good things these kids do makes them better. It's not only in scolding a child, too much punishments and scolds makes them feel unloved and want to rub away. It's good to appreciate the little things our kids do because it helps them grow better and want to put in more efforts. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Sadly, most parents are more busy building up a "disciplined" human being through their strict tactics, rather than making a loving little friend. A child who can come to their parents with every issue they face, from A to Z, never having to be scared to shy away. That's what I would call the perfect parent and child relationship.
This was one annoying part of growing up. Haha, my mom was one worse disciplinarian and I hated it everytime she started preaching.
Yeah! Same here. Children nowadays are scared of telling their parents things because of the lashing they'll get.
My parents were fairly strict as well, but when I hit my teens they slowly let go of me. Now after many, many years, I think I'm doing quite alright, I didn't turn out to be the worst I'd say haha. My two younger brothers also seem to be on the correct path; I was the one who'd be more involved in guiding them, more than my parents at least, but I think I am guiding and teaching them well, so far.
And sadly, that is why these kids slowly drift away, sometimes in the wrong path. If only these parents would try to listen and see it from the kid's point of view.
You still had your morals and self respect intact. That's great and if course a good way that shows how great of a leader you are.
