[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you allow someone to cry and whine until early adulthood LOL it explains a lot about the people in this area. [/quote] I'm hoping you're trying to be flip, but parents being able to empathize with their children is actually fundamental for children's healthy emotional development. Fun fact: you can be empathic AND set boundaries. I do it all the time: "I hear how frustrated you are with your little brothers, but it's not okay to yell at them." Or: "I know you're mad that I won't let you get your own iPhone, but it's not happening." You have to be willing to be your child's safe person, though, and to actually care about how they feel, more than your own rigid need for order and control. I appreciate that dynamic is hard for some people.[/quote]
