[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really, folks, parenting should have as light a touch as possible while keeping kids safe and motivated to do well. That means don’t shut them down. The scars from your controlling impulse during their brain growth years will last a lifetime.[/quote] Such a strange take. Parenting is literally lovingly setting boundaries. This labeling of employing parental wisdom and discernment to guide and instruct our children as “controlling impulse” is a strange culture of fear. You can and should teach your child about norms and expectations. And about reality and pretend. “Sweetie, we love that you have fun watching Paw Patrol! And it’s fun to pretend, isn’t it? When Mommy and Larlo are playing Paw Patrol, I can call you ‘Rubble’ but that’s the name of a pretend doggie. Larlo is what we call you when we’re not pretending.” This is not unreasonable. If tantrum ensues, you address the tantrum, not the name.[/quote]
