[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:41 again - OP, you didn't answer my question - did you tell your son who those words make you feel? (I am actually very surprised that everybody else is advocating strict operant conditioning - Skinner would be so proud of you guys!)[/quote] You are "very surprised" that most parents have a zero tolerance policy for their kids calling them stupid? He KNOWS "how it makes it her feel." It's a word designed to insult and hurt. He doesn't mean it a compliment and he would not be surprised to hear or care that it "made her feel sad." [/quote] Well, since you are operating strictly from the behavioral perspective - you don't know what he KNOWS (remember brain is a "black box") and the only reaction he SEES to his words is NO REACTION ( who is that showing "being upset", btw?) I personally don't think that 6 yo human beings should be always reduced to the level of Skinner rats. But that is just me.[/quote]
