“If we view our children as stupid, naughty, disturbed, or guilty of their misdeeds, they will learn to behold themselves as foolish, faulty, or shameful specimens of humanity. They will regard us as judges from whom they wish to hide, and they will interpret everything we say as further proof of their unworthiness. If we view them as innocent, or at least merely ignorant, they will gain understanding from their experiences, and they will continue to regard us as wise partners.” IfsChildrenHumanityWishUnderstandingViewsWiseStupidJudgingGainsRegardOur ChildrenProofPartnersFoolishIgnorantInnocentGuiltyDisturbedShamefulNaughtyMisdeeds Book:Whole child, whole parent Source: Whole child, whole parent
