[quote=Anonymous][quote] [b]The kid whose parent has the wherewithal to be calm and patient in that situation instead of grabbing the kid by the arm and dragging him out of the pool, or screaming at him, is not the kid who is having the massive meltdown in class that gets the classroom evacuated. [/b]The gentle parented kid might have other issues if his parents don't figure out how to set limits, but the truth is that a parent willing to spend several minutes talking to their kid when they aren't doing what they've been told is demonstrating patience and emotional regulation, which is still better than screaming and yanking your kid around in terms of teaching them how to behave.[/quote]

This is generally true, but there are also the gentle parented kids whose refusals are a complete disruption to the other kids and staff because at school, with a system that avoids consequences, and an audience of peers, refusal can quickly turn into defiance. “I don’t want to stop playing my computer and do my work! I don’t have to listen to you!” Peers watch this, and join in, and it can become a nightmare to handle.[/quote]
