[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to be clear, I'm not 11:36 but I am the person the angry hashtag user was attacking. A number of us here disagree and we have different ways of expressing it. [/quote]
I am confused as to exactly what you are saying. [/quote]

Sorry, I'm not 11:16, although I understand her frustration.  I just wouldnt have used that hashtag or told the sanctimonious PP to shut up.

I'm the person with longer posts who is advocating thinking hard about the most effective method here and suggesting not just emphatically telling the child what to say so that the child clams up but doesn't gain a deeper understanding of equality. [/quote]
I'm 11: 11, didn't know I was sanctimonious because I was saying that the other poster was wrong. I cannot believe that grown folks believe that there is nothing wrong with emphatically telling a child that something they did and said was wrong? if that is the case, What the heck is the purpose of parenting?
I tell my kid all the time that people respond to your actions/words, not your intentions. Yes, you say that and you continually teach them "how" to treat people, "how" to talk about people, how not to "devalue" other people. To think that being emphatic precludes the larger, and longer lessons, is awfully short sighted and sad. [/quote]
