Re: Parenting Article
this the part that pissed me off:
We were three from the front now, and the boy started to come towards his dad yet again. His dad immediately stepped out of the line, jammed his fingers into his son’s collar bones until he winced in pain, and threatened him. “If you so much as make a sound or come off of that wall again, I promise you’re going to get it when we get home.” The boy again cowered against the wall. This time, he didn’t move. He didn’t make a sound. His beautiful face pointed down, locked to the floor and expressionless. He had been broken. And that’s how his father wanted it. He didn’t want to deal with him, and breaking him was the easiest way.
I don't condone the finger into the collar bone but to say the dad didn't want to deal with the kid? LOL! Parents that don't want to deal with their kids either ignore them or just give into them. this guy disciplined his son.
And the way he described the boys actions; that child is not broken, that is exactly what ever disciplined kid looks like when they don't get their way. A undisciplined child screams and throws a tantrum.
