Some people forget that their kids are people too, and that they'll grow up and need to function socially.

I was a “why?” Kid. And I got in trouble for asking why! They said “don’t talk back” or “cause I said so”

As a teacher is it so wild how many kids cannot communicate with peers or adults correctly. I love this as long as it’s respectful.

I say "I'm always willing to change my opinion based on new info". if she presents it to me in a respectful way, I may change my mind. not always

First generation cycle breaker 👏👏 I know parents constantly say “I’m not your friend” but I feel like that’s also an important part of being parent.

I find it so strange when people aren’t comfortable telling their parents no.. like I will argue with my mom but we always forgive each other.

This! I grew up walking on egg shells. My kids speak up for themselves and are treated like humans, not subservients

Not allowing a child to speak up for themselves, and learn how to navigate confrontation, is truly unsafe in todays world.
