Being considerate of others is what holds society together. If you show your children that it's fine for them to scream for no good reason by ignoring it (and that's probably where the problem is--indifference is extremely distressing to children so they will do anything to get a reaction), upsetting everyone within earshot, then you are teaching them to not give a fuck about anyone else. What would you think if you went to see your child's teacher and they sat there picking their nose and eating it? Or masturbating?uwot wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2017 10:27 amGiven that some people think this, some don't mind that, who exactly is included in the society you refer to that decides what behaviour is acceptable?vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2017 10:12 amWhen it comes to children, what exactly is 'good' or 'bad' behaviour? Some people think children are 'bad' if they don't obey everything an adult says. Any adult. Some people think children should never argue with their parents, or express opinions. Some people don't seem to mind the horrible pointless screaming their children do in the supermarket, deafening everyone around them. Some parents even think their child is being 'bad' for wetting the bed, or not being out of nappies early enough. I don't think children can be 'bad'. They just have stupid parents who don't know how to enable them to be socially acceptable human beings.
