It is not the suffering caused by frustration, however, that leads to emotional illness, but rather the fact that the child is forbidden by the parents to experience and articulate this suffering, the pain felt at being wounded.” NeedsChildrenFactsPainMotherSufferingWishFeltParentImagineChildhoodEmotionalFilledIllnessFrustrationWoundedForbiddenBest Mother Book:For Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence Source: For Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence
