[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know how she’s defining? so this might sound harsh. But benign parental neglect is how people end up with insecure, anxious attachments that cause problems in their lives. So I don’t think that sounds good, not meeting your kids needs but housing them. [/quote] What you described is not benign, it's neglect. Benign neglect is benign. It's like not going to any of your kids' soccer games except the ones that are important to them, unless they really want you to be there.[/quote] Who doesn’t go to their kids sports games? [/quote] It’s totally fine to miss kids’ games every now and then. In fact, this is one area where a little more benign neglect is really needed. Parents these days are so over invested in every single practice and game from an early age. It’s weird and a little pathetic. Way too much attention and pressure being put on kids who should just be having fun and getting some exercise.[/quote]
