Quote
It does not feel good to punish or correct our children; no one wants to be the cause of tears and hurt feelings. It feels great to hand our kids cookies just before dinner with a conspiratorial finger over the lips, bonding us to our kids in a shared, secret treat. It feels wonderful to swoop in and rescue when we take that forgotten homework to school, saving our kids from the disappointment of recess detention and the stern glare of a teacher. The catch is that what feels good to us isn’t always what is good for our children.
