  • Especially when the mistakes hurt. I was a kid in the '80s when this was practiced.

    The more important lesson is that the pain stops. Some consequences aren’t as bad as you imagine them to be.

    I was really astonished when some parents took a knife away from their kid after he had cut themselves. He already learned the lesson! Let him reinforce it!

    I made many mistakes as a parent. But I’m very proud of my kids standing up for themselves or others even against adult authority figures. And they are not afraid of telling me about the stupid stuff they did with their friends. The friends’ parents never even suspect the stuff. So we must’ve done something right.
