  “Kids are acting out their emotional needs. The question is, are we going to respond to the child or try and suppress the behaviour?” 🔥

  &quot;We have the science, we have the research -- we&apos;re just not applying it.&quot; As a former teacher, this has by far depressed me the most. It&apos;s all here, but society insists on the harmful ways, feeding into the cycle of trauma. <br><br>A big thank you to Gabor Maté to continuously trying to give these topics more attention!

  Parents, Guardians, Educators, anyone responsible for the care and education of our children - the debate that’s been raised here is whether it is better to look only at ‘what’ the behaviour is or to look deeper into the behaviour and ask ‘why’. &nbsp;As a daughter I was raised in the ‘what’ only era and there was no teaching involved, just harsh punishment, which in my case resulted in suppression of my feelings (the unacceptable ones). I was very obedient - so job done for the system - but I was also the perfect bait for predators and abusers. I got cancer 3 times in my lifetime. As a mother I applied the ‘what’ method, but with teaching (by ‘correcting’ the so-called bad behaviour. No punishment. That still didn’t prevent my son becoming addicted, in his case to alcohol and prescribed medication (the convenient companion to the ‘what’ method. My son died prematurely. So that method clearly doesn’t work (in my humble opinion). As a grandmother I apply the ‘why’ method, having learned it from books written by and talks given by Gabor Mate. It is working beautifully - especially with my grandchildren who have ADHD and/or anxiety ‘disorders’. So I’m on the ‘why’ side. Absolutely no doubt - it’s working in ‘real’ life!

  &quot;In general, children are the most brutalized of people, not because they are small and weak, but because they don’t have the same freedoms to quit that adults have.&quot; ~ Peter Gray

  Asking, &quot;what&apos;s is beneath the story/behavior?&quot; Will give a pause. Remember, &quot; A &apos;misbehaving&apos; child is a discouraged child.&quot; True for adults too. ❤

  It’s very challenging to have a healthy relationship with a child when we’re living in a toxic environment and surrounded by toxic people who are very low minded and worthless on almost all level. We somehow pass our unhappiness to our child unwittingly unless we watch some of these videos that really raise awareness so we can be aware and really understand our own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors…..I believe that many of the personality disorders are a response to the problematic environment and toxic culture that we live in.
