What were you thinking? How could you do that? Really???
Our natural inclination in fulfilling our parenting duty to correct and instruct our children often includes the inclusion of criticism.
Whether it be intended or not, verbal or not, our children feel our disapproval and disappointment at a core level.
Haim Ginott claims that:
Parental criticism is unhelpful... children who are regularly criticized learn to condemn themselves and others.
So what do we do to remove condemnation from our correction?
This is where joy lives!
