Teachable moment
If I'm going to with my kids after realizing what that did for us mentally, for me, I'm going to do those types of things in private. Because it's not meant to shame my children or to make them feel belittled in front of other people. Because like we said before, they are human beings. They're just in a smaller package. Would you want somebody to correct you or punish you or whatever it is in front of a large group? Think about it
But how important are those conversations? And afterwards, pulling my son aside and being like, well, I didn't realize how harsh I've spoken to you in the past, and seeing you make your brother cry today the way that you did it, I realized that that was essentially my fault. Now, you had the decision to how you spoke to him, but he certainly got that from me
But it could be also just because I know that my spouse and me have decided what we are going to do and what we're not going to do when it comes to raising a child. And I've kind of just eliminated that from my mindset as a possibility of a form of punishment. So regardless, I fully, fully, fully agree with you on the whole public shaming or public punishment. I think that that goes for everything
