[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amen. You see it on here all the time. Parents try to curate a world in which their kid’s every single whim is catered to, instead of expecting them to adapt to their environment. [/quote]
I've told my kids since they were older ES that they are special... to me, [b]but not to the rest of the world.[/b] That rules apply to them as much as to the next person.

They are now teens, and they have both been counselors and tutors to kids, and they have both complained to me about unruly kids and how frustrating they are.

I looked at them and said, "Now you know how parents and teachers feel. Can you imagine the teacher having to deal with 30 kids per class?  Make sure you behave in class."  They say they do, and I've gotten no complaints about them. One is in college now.[/quote]

🤔 No child has ever thrived by their parents telling them they’re not special. All kids are special and unique, and need to grow into those character traits in a healthy way. Parenting a child well doesn’t mean you tell them there’s nothing special about them, what a weird take. [/quote]
