Summary
She remains calm during his tantrums and lets her son fail on purpose. “Small failures at nine are the training he needs at 29,” she writes. None of this makes me a cold mother. A mother irritates with her son’s upbringing: “I don’t explain it to him more than once.” Frankfurt – She is today on day 3470 of her mission called “Raising a kid I actually like,” writes a Millennial mother named Katy (@katy g blog) on Instagram. I like the boy he is becoming. It happened because I made seven unpopular parenting decisions. For example, not asking her nine-year-old son what he wants to eat dinner. I decide.
Furthermore, Like Katy, who deliberately didn’t carry his water bottle after her son when he forgot it. “The next day he thought of it himself,” she writes. “Grit” children already learn while playing when parents do not always let their children win. “Grit is more valuable to children’s development than their parents’ financial situation, more valuable than intelligence,” Rankin told FR. Therefore, parents would have to ask themselves at any time: “Do I help my child immediately with the puzzle or do I manage to endure the learning process?” says Thiele. The warmth is always there.“ Criticism of unpopular parenting decision: “Your child gets complexes” In the comments under Katy’s Instagram post, criticism of her approach hails: “Not saying nice things to your child is not a secret parenting trick,” one user writes. “The poor child!” writes another. “This only gives your child a complex and makes them feel that they have to earn your love and recognition.” Another adds: I fucking make my child believe he is smart, kind and caring. Then he finds something to do, she writes. “In the first year of life: you can not give a child too much attention,” says psychologist and psychotherapist Michael Borg-Laufs of the Frankfurter Rundschau of Ippen.Media. “Later parents also have to pay attention to their own needs.” Sometimes parents wouldn’t feel like playing with their children. “A child has to learn this too: that others do not want to, and that then you have to cope alone with boredom.” At some point, children would have to learn that parents have no desire to play and “that you have to cope with boredom alone,” says a psychologist. © Depositphotos/IMAGO Katy tells on Instagram that she does not praise her son for his existence.
