MY TAKE ON PARENTING
“Adolescence”on Netflix & 70 hr work week – a correlation & proof based mostly opinion
As a dad or mum of teenagers (my boys are 19 & 14) this present stirred one thing deep in me.
My ideas for no matter they’re value –
Kids are fragile. They idolise their dad and mom. If they really feel they aren’t dwelling as much as the dad and mom expectations & that their dad and mom are “ ashamed of them”, they’ve large pent up negativity. This mixed with bullying by friends can explode both by 1) child taking it out on themselves- hating themselves, growing low self-worth & psychological well being points or 2) child taking it out on others
The necessary half right here is that oldsters could haven’t any dangerous intent & could not even bear in mind

In the present, Jamie idolized his dad. His dad needed to toughen him up by exposing him to soccer & boxing. Jamie sucked at each. Jamie felt that his father appeared away as his father was ashamed. His father by no means communicated & clarified that that wasn’t true.
In my case, I had a thick voice, facial hair, very tomboyish, hated rituals or something overly female like nail paint, mehendi and so forth as a teen. My mother obtained anxious, made me take singing lessons, kathak lessons, stroll with a e book on my head in an try to make me extra “ feminine”… completely candy soul, completely good intent however it left scars. My father felt I didn’t go to a adequate faculty, tried transferring me to a greater one, didn’t succeed, I felt he was “ ashamed”. Many different tales however I received’t bore you. Bottomline, 2 good dad and mom, nice intent however their actions led to years of low self-worth & emotional consuming. I recovered, obtained stronger. Not everybody does..
So what’s the answer ? The “self driven child” e book suggests that each dad or mum ought to let the kid make their very own choices & be taught on their very own, have their very own journeys. I agree. Detach. Stop making an attempt to make things better you are feeling they lack or may do higher at..But over talk ….over talk ….over talk how proud you’re of them & how you’re all the time there for them… the “I’m proud of you” half being most necessary
CONFIDENCE IS THE BEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE YOUR CHILD. The minute you see indicators of low confidence, course right, get skilled assist
Tragedy & actuality, in Jamie Millers case, he was locked in his room & his dad began working 70/ 90 hours a day & these indicators have been missed.
If we select to convey a toddler on this world, let’s guarantee we give them TIME ..that we have now work life steadiness to catch these indicators early & course right. Say NO to 70 hour weeks or if you need that life say NO to being a dad or mum !
I relaxation my case….
Hope the proponents of 70/90 hour per week watch this present ….
