Frustration also reaches younger people. Between permissive parenting and letting the child express themselves in situations that are out of the norm.
Let us imagine a situation in which a 6 year old daughter hits her mother and father when she is not happy. Or, perhaps, you don’t even need to imagine much.
What would you do? This was the question left by , a parenting specialist.
“We all go through moments of frustration and our parental role is to help the child use their emotions without harming themselves or others”, begins by writing Magda.
He then reports the answers he received to the question “What would you do?” in a situation where a young daughter hits her parents.
Some responses suggested that the child only reacts this way because the parenting and permissive. The child needs to be punished, punished, because he has no limits and he should have. “If I hit my parents now, what would it be like in a few years?”
Others presented a very different perspective: it is important let the child show and express their feelings – but it is equally important to show another way of expressing them: “If I wanted to hit, it could be on a pillow”.
In the middle of the answers, there was only one person who admitted that it was a situation out of the ordinary and that something like that was not supposed to happen. “It was important to look for help (something this family did) to resolve the situation and find out who the child was and how the parents responded to different situations.”
To conclude, the founder of the School of Positive Parenting and Education points out: “We are quick to respond and give tips, but we forget that there are many nuances, answers and a huge history of situations in 6 years. It is necessary to go deeper, with help.”
