IN WATCHING HOW THINGS ARE HANDLED AROUND OUR HOUSE BEING A GRANDPARENT ,RAISING MY SECOND FAMILY . ONE DAY I NOTICED MY FIVE YEAR OLD GRANDSON WAS VERY UPSET WHEN HIS GRANDFATHER TURNED HIS BACK ON HIM AFTER HE MISBEHAVED. MY GRANDSON BEING VERY VERBAL TOLD HIM "YOU HURT MY FEELINGS". DID HE LEARN A LESSON FROM THIS PUNISHMENT?
WELL I'M SURE HE DID, HE LEARNED THAT HIS GRANDFATHER WOULD NOT ALWAYS BE THERE FOR HIM. THAT IF HE DOES SOMETHING THAT IS WRONG HIS GRANDFATHER WILL TURN HIS BACK ON HIM.
PRETENDING A CHILD DOES NOT EXIST IS A FORM OF EMOTIONAL ABUSE. WHEN A CHILD ACTS HIS WORSE IS WHEN THEY NEED YOU THE MOST. BY IGNORING A CHILD YOU ARE SAYING YOUR LOVE IS CONDITIONAL. YOU ARE DESTROYING YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND CRUSHING YOUR CHILD'S SPIRIT. THEY NEED GUIDANCE AND BETTER WAYS TO HANDLE REBELLION.
GETTING INVOLVED WILL HELP YOU FEEL MORE EFFECTIVE AS A PARENT. NEGATIVE ATTENTION IS STILL ATTENTION SO BE CAREFUL , A CHILD ALWAYS HAS YOU AS THEIR CAPTIVE AUDIENCE AND EVERY THING YOU DO HE/SHE LEARNS.
CHILDREN AND BEHAVIOR: IF CHILDREN CAME WITH INSTUCTIONS WE COULD PREDICT INSTEAD OF PRAY.
