RE: Balancing Discipline and Empathy in Education
My father did not use to yell at us or threaten us while I was little, and I always tried to obey his rules as much as possible, not because I was afraid of him but because he put so much trust in me, he did more of talking and leading by example than punishing me for my errors and I never wanted to break his trust.
You and my father, share the same way of treating kids. Now that I'm a mother, not yelling when my son misbehaves is hard sometimes, but I'm following my father's example by trying to guide him as much as possible without causing him any trauma because I want him to grow up and be a kind and happy human being. To make this a bit easier, I try to be around parents with this same value.
Your future kids will be lucky to have you.
I found your post on x and I'm glad 😊 I did.
The fact is that scaring any human being, be it a child or an adult, is not going to give good results. You achieve much more by being kind, loving and gentle with people. Dale Carnegie explains it in his book "How to Win Friends."
I don't know if I have children in the future, I haven't come across a "kind" candidate yet 😀
Hey, thank you, at least Twitter brought you to my wall, so I'm very happy about that, I celebrate it.
You are right, being loving and kind is so underrated.
As for the right candidate, she is out there just waiting for you, and I believe that you shall find each other at the appointment time. So I'm rooting for you guys, okay!
I just assumed you are a guy, I hope I'm correct though.😊
