In Defense of Spanking - Article Review!
Article: https://time.com/3387226/spanking-can-be-an-appropriate-form-of-child-discipline/
In this episode, I explore the controversial issue of spanking as a form of child discipline, referencing Jared Pingleton's article amid recent debates. I argue that true discipline should empower children and foster self-discipline rather than rely on physical punishment.
I challenge the effectiveness of spanking, highlighting the need for modeling positive behaviors and questioning the validity of "mild spanking." Emphasizing the difference between fear-based compliance and genuine respect, I advocate for authority rooted in love and understanding.
Ultimately, I urge parents to reassess their disciplinary choices to promote positive outcomes and break generational cycles of harsh discipline.

They say the sweetest sound spoken to a person in any language, is their name.
When you deal with a true narcissist, your words are temporary responses until they can evoke the response they want to hear.
Your words are theories and ideas (that may be giving a little too much credit to a narc) that have no relationship to you as a person.
One of Stef’s analogies was you are a broken machine and they’re trying to fix it.
To a true narcissist, that’s all your words are, you’re not a person you’re an object, who needs to be fixed until they get the response they want… The very least of all things that you have with a narcissist, is a NAME.
If you’ve dealt with narcissists too long, say your name. Say it over and over again, until you can say it with pride.
