Adults have no idea how to speak to, educate, motivate, and discipline children.
from Core Philosophies and Rants (Louis Rossmann) · host Louis Rossmann
This episode discusses the common phenomenon where children or teenagers, upon gaining a bit of freedom, often act out in extreme ways, such as getting involved in substance abuse or dropping out of school. Louis argues that this behavior is not due to a lack of discipline at home but rather because children are often treated with a lack of respect and autonomy, both at home and in educational settings. He emphasizes that adults frequently forget what it was like to be a child, leading them to treat children in ways that assume the worst of them and fail to prepare them for the real world.In summary, Louis argues that children and teenagers act out when given freedom because they are not accustomed to being treated with respect and autonomy. The solution, according to him, is to treat children more like adults, with respect and positive expectations, to better prepare them for the real world and help them develop into well-adjusted individuals.(I am not affiliated with Louis Rossmann)Original Video: https://youtu.be/dl_mHZTca6A?si=uBLgjGBwBlqOdqUj
