[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:11, on 4, if the kid learns he can't say those things to you, the parent, but he keeps thinking them, then we have a serious problem. If she can't have an ongoing dialogue with him about these ideas she won't be able to ensure he's gotten to the truth of equality. That's why a number of us are counseling against being so emphatic that you shame the kid into silence with his mother, who is the only person to whom he seems to have made these remarks. [/quote] HUH? I don't get the idea of telling someone "that's not how we talk about people", "that's not what we say about people" is shaming a kid. ESPECIALLY, when all along I, and other posters, have said it is part of an ongoing dialogue and education. That just seems very off to me. I tell my kids all sorts of stuff that we do not do, and teach them what and how to do the right thing. There is no shame involved. Where in the world did the shame come in?[/quote]
