[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the psychologist is on a better track than you are.  Going to bedroom or bathroom isn't really a big difference - but encouraging or discouraging arguing is.  And I'm in Team psychologist about discouraging it, rather than your preference of encouraging it via discussion.

If you really think that modern parenting is better than old-fashioned parenting, just look at the results.  Kids and young adults today are poorly behaved, argue about everything, rude and disrespectful, anxious and depressed.  And lack conpetence and independence.  [/quote]

I am not saying I prefer arguing. I'm saying I don't think all argument should be off the table.

I am also not saying one is objectively better than the other. I have my preference but I don't claim it is the objective best. It depends on what the socialization goals are.

I don't know what "modern parenting" is. There are many parenting styles coexisting in modern times, with different results. Ditto for so-called old-fashioned parenting. Do you have experimental results to cite that indicate that your preferred style of parenting yields better behavioral outcomes? [/quote]
