puddincakes:lilyvonpseudonym:why224:swanmills:kids who have overprotective and overcontrolling parents and know how to lie on the spot vs kids who don’tYESIf we can be serious for a moment:This is what overprotective overcontrolling parents teach you to do. They do not teach you restraint, or how to protect yourself, or anything other than how to lie.We’ve been coming to this confrontation with Dr. Maheswaran for some time, because somewhere along the line, her actions taught Connie that if she discovered a beautiful, fantastic new world, where magic is real and possible and she is strong and independent and a warrior, her parents would take it away from her.NEVER let your children believe that you are going to take their passions away from them. Never do this. Your children are your responsibility, yes, and you should try to keep them safe, but they are also human beings, and they have a RIGHT to interact with the world. If you use your authority to make them afraid to do so- Or worse, to make them feel like doing so is shameful and they have to lie about it- all you are doing is hurting them and training them to lie. ^^^ THAT RIGHT THERE ^^^^^ THAT IS WHAT I’M REBLOGING THIS FOR -- source link
