I have told him multiple times that i am for taking away things when kids don’t listen. It doesn’t mean you can take away all things. I feel like I very clearly explained this. I twice referenced taking things away from my son.
He pretends over and over again he didn’t see these comments or he simply isn’t reading what I’m writing, and yet keeps hinging his arguments on my (incorrectly alleged) hypocrisy.
He is clearly not in a state to have a real conversation. I am not going to send him sources just for him to find another vector to attack me from. If he’s interested in this subject he can use his search engine of choice and look at sources he trusts. It is not my job to be his educator and frankly I do not care if either of you believe me.
I’m only commenting here because I can tell you are well intentioned. Have a good rest of your weekend. I have blocked the other dude.
Still no sources I see.
Taking things away from our kids to help them change their behaviour often looks like taking away privileges, toys, or activities. There are a few reasons why “taking things away” is an ineffective method of discipline.
hy·poc·ri·sy /həˈpäkrəsē/ noun the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform
Seems like the definition of hypocrisy. It's a profoundly terrible idea based on these "studies/insight" you won't provide yet you do it yourself.
If you bothered with the link I've posted 3 times which is sourced, something your own claims aren't.
I don't need to resort to personal attacks and deflect when challenged.
Did you read the article linked in their reply? I think the hypocrisy they reference is that you're okay with taking things away which the sourced article they provide says is ineffective.
Do the studies you've read not explain that because the ones cited in the article seem to.
I don't need your help on this.
