Poisioning the kind of your children is almost certainly counterproductive. Let me give you an instance. Last week in the accident and emergency department, a woman came in with her son and the son according to the emergency department had undiagnosed psychiatric issues.
In my opinion, it was due to his parents separation. Since his parents separated last year, he started behaving like a strange boy. He would get angry at school and throw furniture at fellow students. He would kick and bite his mum and I was shocked at how he hit his mother in the right eye in the department!!!!!!
We actually called him aside and we asked him politely and calmly the reason for his behaviour and he told us that it was because his mother wouldn't let him speak to his father and that she would tell him on numerous occasions that his father would never speak to him. He requested to speak to his father and we noticed that he lit up instantly as he spoke to the father.
How could the mother deny him the right to see his father? How could the mother tell him that he would never see his father again? Didn't she realise the impact on his well being? Children are not stupid and they know when a parent tries to poison their mind.
We told the mother what he said and she denied it as expected. She said that the reason she did that was because the father would promise to see him on and fail to fulfil his promise. I didn't and still don't believe that. But let's give her the benefit of the doubt! Even if that were true she should never try to poison a child's mind because that would be counterproductive!!!
Great Post! Thanks for sharing the knowledge and keep up the good work.
