| StealThisSheen 10/17/23 3:53:47 PM #70: | I know somebody who coddles her kid to the extreme. She always asks him if he wants to do something, how it makes him feel, etc., before they do it... But that includes everything from doing homework, getting vaccines, etc.
Like, if you ask a kid if they like homework and want to do it, or want to get a necessary shot... Of course the kid is probably going to say no. But then instead of having him do it anyway, or encouraging him, she just goes "Okay," and that's where it ends. She had to start homeschooling him because he was failing school due to not doing homework or taking tests. We need much less of that. But, obviously, we don't need to go to the extreme "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" rhetoric typically takes us to, either. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!
