People punish dogs like this and no one bats an eye.

People punish humans like this and everyone loses their minds.

Because dogs and animals in general don't understand language telling their crime to the world whereas people understand it. Some deserve it while others don't and can be harmed emotionally because of it. Some people, like psychopaths/sociopaths & narcissists deserve it whereas a child who does something shouldn't be shamed by their parents in front of their class since they understand language. Animals see it as attention & I've had dogs as well but they do regret dumb stuff but cats gloat proudly and they're funny. It's the relatable stuff pet owners understand and it's fun for us basically.

now granted children must be disciplined for willful behavior but not like that and often it's ignorance that children have and shaming does harm. Animals can't read and don't care. Voice tone is everything to them.

Shaming is not a cool thing to do. To shame a child can really mess them up. I don't think the dog is being punished. And I don't think he cares...he's sticking his tongue out at us.

I know you mean well. But your words will have zero power over parents who are at their wit's end and have tried everything else to no avail. When parents are at the end of their rope, they care nothing about whether a Supreme Court Justice considers a punishment "cruel and unusual" or whether a psychologist considers a punishment to be "emotionally damaging", and they care everything whether or not that punishment works in stopping the bad behavior they want to stop.

Kids are not carbon copies of each other like the cars that roll off an assembly line. They don't come with instruction manuals, and what succeeds with all the other kids in the world may fail with their kid. The knowledge that parents have about their kids, kids that they have lived with day after day, week after week, month after month for years is enough to be used as a catapult to launch the knowledge of all the anonymous armchair quarterbacks who know little to nothing about their kids (their knowledge is often limited to a newspaper article or a sound byte or a photo or a isolated video clip, if that) miles and miles and miles away. Perhaps if those anonymous armchair quarterbacks had to put up with the kids they pity day after day, week after week, month and month for years, they'd reach the same conclusions and find themselves doing the exact same things those desperate parents did.

Sometimes the only way to bring out the best in someone is to become that someone's worst nightmare.

"Sometimes the only way to bring out the best in someone is to become that someone's worst nightmare.".... so very, very wrong.

There are eight billion people on this planet. If you seriously and honestly believe that you can make all of them better people without scaring them, then I think you are extremely naive and overconfident.

We Americans won World War II by dropping two atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945 (Japan started it by attacking America at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941). Japan never in their wildest dreams thought a single bomb could wipe out a whole city. By dropping those two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we accomplished what Japan believed to be impossible, beat Japan at their own game, and brought them to their senses. Japan surrendered and never messed with America again. People don't mess with you when they're scared of you.

The biggest intentional troublemakers are the people who have little to no fear. Middle-range troublemakers might think (or nervously hope) that you won't notice or won't mind. But the worst of the worst hope you notice and feel satisfaction at your displeasure. They go out of their way to be absolutely sure you notice what they've done, then ask "What are you gonna do about it?"

Fear may not make people their best, but it may be the only way to stop them from doing their worst.

Thank you for sharing those with me. I guess I'm not cut out to be a parent, and I never will be.

Having spent time with children, I learned they really like to be talked to as if they were not so young or naive. I find them the closest to the Light and try not to talk to them as if I am behaving as a shadow. I get an opportunity to be my most sincere self and it is a glorious feeling.
