Responding to Sibling Fighting with Spanking?

This one has me thinking about some of my own behaviors and how I got sucked into spanking when I knew instinctively it was wrong…

As I have highlighted in previous posts, one of the most stressful aspects of parenting reported by parents is when their children fight. Although by now the scientific study of parenting has forwarded some exceptional methods of parenting to help deal with the stress of sibling dynamics, many parents respond out of religious conviction to sibling aggression with spanking their children.

Imagine the irony of hearing a parent yell at their child “don’t ever hit your brother, we do not hit in this house…” as the parent proceed to hit their child.

This technique is apparently making a comeback in some online circles as a parenting method to deal with many childhood misbehaviors. Recently I was sent a link by a religious friend of mine to what he thought was a clever online post that read something to effect of “I was spanked as a child and therefore… have developed a respect for others.”

I responded to his link with “you probably also developed aggressive tendencies, an anxiety disorder, anti-social tendencies, academic problems, and sexual issues…”

I have yet to hear back from him.

How To Discover The Message You’re Meant To Share With The World

How To Discover The Message You’re Meant To Share With The World

Shelley Bullard writes: You have a message. Yes, I’m talking to you.

Maybe you know what your message is, or maybe you don’t. Either way, you have one. And sharing it with the world will make you feel incredibly fulfilled from the inside out.

Expressing your message doesn’t have to be a big production. Messages can be loud, but they can also be quiet. They can be discrete, and they can be bold. The importance of a message doesn’t rest on how it’s expressed; the importance comes from how deeply it resonates for you, and how it impacts the world.

Deep down, we’re all called to be of service. What this means is that most of us are consciously aware of a desire to help others. Even more than that, most of us recognize that this desire is actually our purpose in the world. Continue reading “How To Discover The Message You’re Meant To Share With The World” →

How to Deal With Betrayal

2014-01-28-betrayal.png

Christine Hassler writes…

Betrayal. Yuck. It’s one of the human experiences that can be so painful and hard to understand. It hurts when you feel lied to or when someone you thought you could trust shows you something different. When we feel betrayed or like our trust is broken, it’s natural to want to hang on to the anger, resentment, blame and “how could she” or “I can’t believe he” thoughts. But this keeps us in victim consciousness and only perpetuates our suffering.

There is a way out of the suffering. There is a way to bring lightness to this seemingly heavy experience.

Last week after receiving some unexpected information, I found myself in the depths of feeling betrayed. I did get through it and so can you!

Can You Change Other People?

The incandescent light bulb

Q. How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb?

A. One, but the light bulb has to want to change.

The best way to help other people change is to learn about how to change your own behavior. The more you know about the factors that drive your own behavior, the better you can use the same principles to help other people change.
