[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Children have to learn how to regulate their emotions and work out their feelings in a healthy way - it is not innate! Parents who allow one kid to beat on another kid and call it ‘sibling rivalry’ or ‘roughhousing’ are really just either lazy parents or parents who favor one child over another child (or children) so much that they are willing to condone the abuse of some of their children to stroke the ego of a golden child.

Either way you cut it, it’s disgusting to let your kids violently assault anyone. [/quote]

In defense of millennial parents, a lot of older generations thought sibling roughhousing was fine too. And actually in the DSM criteria for oppositional defiant disorder, the defiant behavior doesn't count if it's toward a sibling! I do think that siblings hitting each other is very different from a kid hitting anyone else, though, so I don't judge. Parents who aren't serious about their kids hitting another kid, though, oh boy. That's wild stuff. [/quote]
