       If you want your kids to learn many things and be very well educated, it will help them immensely if you would stop being mean to them. They are children. They are new here. They have to learn everything from scratch. They are going to mess up something at some point.Ask yourself before you decide to say or do anything: ✨- is this unsafe? ✨- is this illegal? ✨- is this immoral? If it is not any of those things, perhaps you don't need to punish that kid at all.🧵

       Kids will make mistakes for a lot of reasons: - they weren't taught how to do it- they were taught but they didn't retain certain information- they retained the information but didn't get the "why" about it-they developmentally can't succeed at the task-they did everything right and it just didn't go well-they were trying something newNone of those instances is a behavioral issue, so none of them are affected by punishment. At some point you're just being a jerk.

       @OkieSpaceQueen That's not really a kid thing though, you'll probably get the same issues with teaching adults.

       @lanodan yeah but adults aren't scared someone's going to hit them if they spill their glass of juice. Kids are, and the only reason they are is because adults punish them for making small mistakes. So many adults get emotional when they aren't immediately successful because they have lasting trauma from when they were kids and they got punished for being human beings.

       @lanodan @OkieSpaceQueen which follows from the fact that children are small, inexperienced humans, rather than pets to be trained

       @wikt @OkieSpaceQueen True, except pets also don't deserve to be treated like shit.
