Dispelling a Myth

A common myth is that if you employ too much discipline while raising your child, you run the risk of breaking their spirit and creating a weak adult or as I once heard "You know, fire can turn iron into steel, but it can also turn ice into water".

My response is typically along the lines of "You sound like you are either an absentee/dysfunctional parental unit, who doesn't participate in the managment of pediatric units or you were an obnoxious shit as a pediatric unit who received little guidence from their own parental units and as a result developed in to an absentee parental unit who chooses not to take responsiblity for the actions and future of their own pediatric units.  So which were you?"

Child Rearing Disclaimer

  • For idiots
    Short Form:
    This is a joke. If you think any of this is good parenting advice, you deserve to have your children taken away by the local children's aid society. If you are too lazy to call them yourself, call us and we will do it on your behalf.
    Long Form:
    Child Rearing is a satirical site, written by a management consultant who, if possible, would like to send you a bill for reading this blog. As with all advice given by a management consultant, do not implement it, in fact, in most cases do the exact opposite and you will be better served. The site publishes both rumors and conjecture, in addition to a minimal amount of accurately reported information. Information on this site will contain errors or inaccuracies; the site's proprietors do not make warranty as to the correctness or reliability of the site's content.
