Parenting with Naomi Aldort - The child is right

http://www.NaomiAldort.com Every parent would happily give up ever scolding, punishing or threatening if she only knew how to ensure that her toddler/child/teen would thrive and act responsibly without such painful measures. The book, Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves by Naomi Aldort is the answer to this universal wish. It is not about gentle ways to control a child, but about a way of being and of understanding a child so she/he can be the best of herself, not because she fears you, but because she wants to, of her own free will.

Well maybe i did forget that to mention that was one little devil :D but seriously now i'm a responsible person and a mature one and you shoudln't let kids do what they want ... Cause if you do welll that's how you get muggers killers rapers and all that crap by letting kids do what they want telling them they are right.. Thay start thinking everything they do is right and if they don't do good stuff like steling they still think it is and it's ingraved in them , that thinking...

@AnomandurReik

All criminals have been punished and spanked as children. This has been statistically proven. It is the oppression of children through the usual control that leads to aggressive and depressed people. However, you are right that children shouldn't just do whatever they want and I don't advocate that they do. Like adults, they have to be caring and responsible and they are, when treated in the way I teach.

@AnomandurReik You have been beaten into submission. The free-spirited will to express yourself seems extinguished by the trauma of constant beatings by who you refer to as parents. I apologize and extend feelings of healing to you.

i cant imagine what you went through with those parents of yours, i sre wish you get over this abuse

These are principals based upon love. I was brought up like this (with parenting based upon the ideas of A.S. Neill and Wm. Glasser.) I never had academic or social problems and grew up to be a responsible and loving adult in turn, a good citizen and a kind disposition. It is an absurd notion that striking another person is ever acceptable. How can a child learn to be loving and kind when fear and intimidation are used as discipline? Excellent.

I am not agreeing on what she says ....

"the child is right" . Nope the parents are right because they are the mature ones because it's their house because they are the reason the child was born and it still exists . The parents make the rules and the children follow if not.... Well you fuck em up . My parents beat the crap out of me for every dumb thing a did and i did plenty of them . Thanks to that beating now i'm a better person and understand the meaning of respect and discipline .

It tooks me months to read your book because I cried every couple of pages, remembering my own feelings as a child. Thank you for enlightening me, and for helping me connect with my child.

Naomi-

I have missed our phone sessions. You amaze me. Thank you for what you are doing for the world.

There is always a good reason why children behave the way they do. I am still learning to look far beyond the behavior. We are so conditioned to react to a problem making it hard to problem solve.
