You don’t teach your children not to hit people by hitting them.
You don’t teach your children not to scream by screaming at them.
You don’t teach your children to be respectful by disrespecting them.
You don’t teach your children how to do anything by subjecting them to physical, emotional, or verbal abuse as a form of discipline.
The type of parents you have makes all the difference and when someone has good and secure parents and comes from a loving and safe home it eliminates them having to suffer from trauma built up in a place that’s meant to be safe for them and inflicting that same pain on others. I hope that this generation grows up to be better parents and heals from the things our parents have done to them.
