Thanks. If I ever have children they're going to be surrounded by a world of positivity.
The world is full of negatives. You do your best - in fact, some negative is good for a child, it helps them learn and grow emotionally. It's part of the human condition.

You can't do this, you can't do that, breeding confidence isn't as bad thing, in fact I'd say it's a good thing. It's hard to compare our mindsets on this, America is a lot more positive place than here.

Your children are human beings who grow and mature to realize that YOU, the parent, are a human being with flaws. Do they affect your kids? HELL yeah, but that's what family love is - imperfect but acceptable.

Originally posted by SunburntRight on, SB. Thumbs UP! No child emerges from the womb with poise and good manners. All children are willful to a fault and must be taught the meaning of the little word 'no'. Parents are ineffective and/or negligent in their responsibilities to the extent that their offspring fail to recognize authority and lack teachability. Such children are both insecure and unhappy.

Originally posted by shortcircuitIf you think negativity is not getting that toy you want I'd agree with you, i'm not talking about that though. Personal negativity is the issue i have, parents telling their kids they can't do something when actually they probably could. If a child doesn't get self-confidence from their parents where is it going to come from?
