Harsh discipline makes aggressive children worse

  • Parents should avoid harsh, combative ways of disciplining their aggressive children. That's according to psychologists whose new research shows that harsh parenting makes children more aggressive in the long run.
  • Crucially, unlike aggressive parenting, the greater use of calmer reasoning techniques for disciplining children was not associated with a subsequent increase in the children's aggression (although it didn't reduce aggression either).

Lies We Tell Kids

  • Adults lie constantly to kids. I'm not saying we should stop, but
    I think we should at least examine which lies we tell and why.
  • One of the most remarkable things about the way we lie to kids is
    how broad the conspiracy is. All adults know what their culture
    lies to kids about: they're the questions you answer "Ask
    your parents." If a kid asked you who won the World Series in 1982
    or what the atomic weight of carbon was, you could just tell him.
    But if a kid asks you "Is there a God?" or "What's a prostitute?"
    you'll probably say "Ask your parents."
