Said that i needed to “get out of the house” etc. I told her the reason she went to work and left me with a childminder was cos she couldnt hack it ! haha whose right now mum lol

I suppose if we are born affectionate, curious and not violent then the question, “Where did it all begin?” comes to mind.

Please accept my deepest sympathies my friend, that is all truly horrendous… [hug]

That’s not what was asked – the question was: “If you had to do it over again…”

@caveden Would you pull your wife’s or friends’ ears if they were testing your limits? If not, why not?
June 8th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
What exactly do you mean by “spanking”? (I’m not an english native speaker)
The word sounds something strong, but in the video it seems you mean any little use of force, like for instance, pulling the ears of a little child who is really testing the limits of their parents, would you include that in “spanking” as well?

Thank you

It’s not surprising that exercise has such a massive effect on our brains. We still have evolutionary traits that make it feel good to push our bodies past the comfort zone that still exist even though most of us don’t need to push ourselves to survive.

Thanks Steph – Its really funny as she likes to claim it was her giving me my freedom, she praises herself on how independant I was – making PB&J by myself at the age of 2, cause I had to push the chair to the counter, climb up and feed myself.
That somehow gets rationized into – independent. lol
Just like the myriad trips to hospital for falling out of trees or getting hit in the mouth with a swing at 18 months.
yeah – it is frightening, and amazing any of us are completely mental.

@caveden have you ever heard of a dictionary?

Because with adults you can have normal conversations.
They won’t start a scandal in public, crying for you to buy them something, for instance.
I’m not saying it’s ok to hurt kids, please don’t get it that way. I just don’t see how it is possible to *never* use any minimal level of force neither ignore (neglect) them when they try to push the limits… kids are constantly trying to see how far they can go, if you always do them everything they’ll end up abusing and will grow up too pampered.

If your interactions with a child are respectful to the child, that is, if you treat a child like an adult, the child will learn to interact more reasonably.
The reason a child behaves “abnormally” is because they have been treated like infants.
When interacting with an unreasonable adult, would you pull their ear or strike their buttocks?
June 8th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
Comparing little kids to adults is nonsense, you can’t treat both alike.
Let’s say, your kid does something wrong. You can’t use any sort of physical violence, not even minimal, like dragging him by the arm or pulling the ear. You say something as “go to your room, you’re punished” (or whatever) and he just ignores you, or even worse, start crying laud enough to bother the whole building.
What do you do?
If it was an adult, I would just kick him out of my home. Would you do this?
June 8th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
You’re getting a little emotional. I wonder why that might be. Where did you get “paranoiac”?
Um, I never said that children should be allowed to do whatever they want, I simply disagreed that using physical coercion was an appropriate means of checking their behavior. Why is it that you only see violence as a way to achieve compromise with a child? You wouldn’t use violence with an adult.

I think he’s speaking simplistically.
I don’t think that people have any inherent tendency towards either violence or compassion, we just have reflexes that drive our reactions to experience. We develop complex psychological thought systems around our experiences of trauma and validation.
Historically there was a greater restriction of resource availability, which means more potential trauma, and thus a greater tendency towards violins.

I am not responsible for the actions of any adult Jcolinsol. This comparison just doesn’t fit.
A parent can’t just leave alone his kid as you can do with a “unreasonable” adult.
Anyway, just don’t be paranoiac. Of course violence can do horrible things to kids, I don’t argue that. But letting kids do whatever they want without ever imposing limits and eventually punishing them won’t be such a good idea either.

THANK YOU!!!!

I appreciate the time you spend to put together and share these videos and knowledge with others. Much respect my friend!
Very interesting series.

I lol’d so hard at the bear part!
June 8th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
Where’s part 4 please?
June 8th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
Yes, that makes sense.
June 8th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
I have worked in childcare, and I have never, ever, had to implement force to get a child to behave. It is just unnecessary.
You cannot make an assertive statement, particularly when advocating violence, and then refuse to defend it. Well, you can, but it highlights how baseless your opinion is.
June 8th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
“As I initially stated, a child will react reasonably if you treat them reasonably.”
Most of the time, yes, I agree. Just not always. Sometimes they try to push their limits, they do their scandals etc.
“Help me out here.”
Dude… it’s almost 2AM and you’re getting me tired. I’m sure you know pretty well that you cannot treat kids and adults the same, I don’t need to “help you out”.
I’m going to sleep now. Wish you good luck with your kids
June 8th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
As I initially stated, a child will react reasonably if you treat them reasonably.
You say it’s nonsense, but you have not provided a salient argument for why I’m supposed to agree with you. Why are children less worthy of respect than adults? What is it about children that makes violence appropriate for them, but not for adults? Is it the fact that they are not fully cognitively developed? Is it the fact that they haven’t developed fine motor skills yet? Help me out here.

The strange part about this was that I was *born* into childhood trauma. I was abused by my biological father, raped by him, and verbally, mentally, and emotionally abused by my mother. Slight physical abuse was also present, but it wasn’t that bad. The odd thing is that, despite all of this, I have a tremendously powerful memory. I remember things back from the crib! And in detail! I can even tell you what I looked like, my mother looked like, colors, shades, the texture, etc. Whole past vivid.
