Nu-s mare fan Jordan Peterson, nu am de gand sa transform blog-ul asta intr-un blog de parenting, dar sunt total de acord cu ce zice mai jos:
Your job as a parent is to make your child socially desirable by the age of four. You wanna burn that into your brain. Because people don’t know that. That’s your job. And here’s why. It’s easy if you think about it carefully. So imagine, you’ve got a three year old child, so sort of halfway through that initial period of socialization and you take that child out in public. What do you want for the child? You want the child to be able to interact with other children and adults, so that the children are welcoming and smile and want to play with him or her, and so the adults are happy to see the child and treat him or her properly.
And if your child is a horrible little monster because you’re afraid of disciplining them or you don’t know how to do it properly then what they’re gonna do is, they’re going to experience nothing but rejection from other children and false smiles from other parents and adults. So then you’re throwing the child out there into a world where every single face that they see is either hostile or lying. And that’s not something that’s going to be particularly conducive to the mental health or the well-being of your child.
Si ca sa completez ce zice Jordan, nu e doar atitudinea copiilor si adultilor care devine o problema pentru un copil nedisciplinat, dar toata societatea umana e bazata pe reguli, pe legi, pe coduri, din zorii civilizatiei si pana acum. You’re you are actively sabotaging your own children atata timp cat nu-i inveti cu mediul concurential, bazat pe pedepse si premii. It’s carrots and sticks, all over.
