Open attacks arouse defiance and rebellion in the more aggressive child and foster withdrawal and depression in the compliant child.
Relationships are destroyed. Your child must either go elsewhere for approval or live on negative attention.
Examples of attacking:
Interrogating
Criticising
Blaming
Shaming
"Why in the world can't you do your homework?!"
Your attitude is so poor that you'll never succeed"
"It's your own fault that you didn't do better"
"You are just lazy. You know better too"
"Becoming a Better Parent" LDS Social Services
BETTER PARENTING - BE PREPARED: If you fail to plan and prepare, you ARE preparing and planning to fail. I love my four children! I would have liked to parent them better. This is some of what I wish I had been able to know thirty or forty years ago! I hope this helps my younger friends.
