RE: How to Beat your Kids (or NOT beat them) - A Friendly Cross Culture debate (Untangled Knots #4.2)

in Cross Culture3 years ago

I disagree with beating children. Even though I'm only a volunteer but I usually work very hard to keep them entertained and I try my best to let them know the consequences of not receiving an education. Basically, I had to tell them that if they are illiterate, they can get cheated very easily, especially if they had to sign an agreement to purchase land, property, etc. Their hard work goes to waste when they get scammed. Sometimes, I have a feeling that only those with early childhood education or child psychology majors should become parents. A majority of other ignorant and entitled people who fXXked irresponsibly did too much unintentional damage to their kids. This is could be a reason for so much unhappiness in the world.

Sort:  

It may sound strange but I think the best thing is for someone to overcome their fears as much as possible and be able to accept things not going as they plan. It'd be nice if they could control their emotions and not pass on drama to others, but that's why I talk about overcoming fear, a lot of that drama comes from fear.

I have seen very few true adults, although I think it is changing.

But I don't think it could ever be perfect so it's ok that there are these problems as long as they can improve over time.
