Whose Fault When Children Disobey? | Kim Constable | TEDxStormont

All parents get angry at their children. But there are hugely more effective ways to discipline than anger. Kim Constable, radical unschooling mother of four, discusses how disciplining with anger actually has the opposite effect to the one you want.
Kim Constable is a vegan eating, yoga teaching, online entrepreneur and unschooling advocate. She believes that children deserve the same respect, freedom and rights as adults. She teaches how arbitrary rules that we force upon children, are designed to meet the needs of the adult, not the child. Kim and her husband Ryan exist in partnership with their children, allowing them to live in freedom. Her kids do not attend school and do not participate in any kind of forced learning. Instead they are free to pursue their passions as sources of learning, living life with joy and purpose.

I love the honesty in this. How many mothers would admit that they hurt their child? Stories heal and I think it is so important that we as parents are honest with ourselves and with each other. Because acknowledging that you made a mistake is the first step to resolving the issue and becoming a better parent.

As a parent, we do our best. It’s a thankless, selfless, hard job. Nobody is perfect and we’re all doing our best. We all will yell at our children at one point or another. And it’s not our fault or our kids. It’s the fact of the matter. Moms are the warriors of the world and sometimes our kids hear our battle cry. If you have yelled at your kids don’t feel guilty. All we can do is try to be better. There’s no textbook telling us how to do everything perfectly

[@youknowyoufuckedupright3058]

What about the dads?

[@sHtinkY2]

I will never understand why people call being a dad/mom a job, and expect thanks or even see it as a selfless thing. You do understand no one really forced you to have children right? They didn't ask you to be your job. You chose to have children. Maybe because you thought they would make you happy, maybe because you wanted to leave a mark on the world. Maybe because society tricked you into believing that it's a necessary step to take in live. Or maybe because you believe in God and think he put you on this world to pro-create. Whatever the reason was, it was YOUR choice and yours only. Your children didn't write you a letter from the unknown universe and plead with you to have them. Woman are indeed warriors, but they are because they didn't have a choice. Just like your children are being programmed by your inability to deal with your anger, women are raised in a society that puts much more pressure on them than they do on men.

[@ashbashleymash5369]

How is me not having kids add any value to this conversation? I chose not to have kids so I wouldn't end up like you and the likes of you. Tired, grumpy women who chose to have kids, and then got trapped in a so called 'selfless, thankless job' who then go on to demand loyalty and gratitude from society and their children because raising kids was hard. Boohoo. Everything in life is hard, but as long as no one forced you into something, don't expect pity. @@ashbashleymash5369

[@sanatshah2517]

After listening to this, I became more confident that my mother is the most understanding and caring mother. I don't remember if she or even my father ever yelled or hit me. I think I was a bit emotional guy and knew the distinction between right and wrong (not sure!) and all that I wanted was to not provoke them and for that I do whatever they say

[@vickialbanese2835]

This had me in tears but never did I have to scream or threaten violence to get my boys to straightened up. Yes I yelled but but never screamed like this at the top of my lungs. Heck that’s scary for me now. But I had no problems getting my boys to behave. Neither of my older sisters ever screamed at their kids like she had to. I’ve screamed at adults to shut up. We were taught the only time you scream is when the house is on fire. And I believe that is a good rule for every household.

When I was a kid and my mum lost her temper and yelled at me, I didn't get scared into silence but instead yelled back and went about breaking her little ornaments or throwing them in the bin to 'punish' her. I'm glad we get along much better as adults! 😅 Due to her learning to actually communicate the fact that she's approaching losing her temper when I'm unknowingly annoying her, and me learning that she honestly can't help being unpleasant when she reaches that point of stress. I've found the same thing myself, when I get extremely angry I become a different person and get this urge to wander about aimlessly and bite things until they break...like a bloody werewolf or something. I once accidentally destroyed a 3DS screen in this way, which just pissed me off even more. But I have found it much easier to avoid reaching this point of anger since entering my 20s and finding Jesus (and developing a crapton more empathising ability). 😀 My mum...still tries her best. I appreciate that yelling at your kids (or adults) isn't the best way to deal with them, but it seems to me there are some people who will never be able to achieve that level of self-control in stressful situations, and it's not their fault. I think I turned out okay anyways, and I try to be patient with my mum when she gets mad about stuff (even weird stuff like the shuffling sound of my slippers on the floor or me fidgeting too much while she's talking to me. Also she doesn't usually yell at full volume nowadays, it's more like really unpleasant loud aggressive talking.) Definitely not planning on having kids myself though, I think they would absolutely break me no matter how much Jesus I have. 😅 Dang this is way longer than I thought it would be.

Having self awareness is really important to help you make decisions about your life choices. I know that because of my intense anxiety and mental and physical health issues from my upbringing makes me get upset and frustrated easily by lots of noise and stress. I need quiet and calm or my nerves are on fire and I have very little patience with children because they don't listen when you tell them "no". Because of this I don't think I'd make a very good mom and I'd just be overly stressed out with my kids constantly and be afraid of harming them if I got triggered into fight/flight mode. Several people have said that I would be a great mother because I'm self aware so should be able to break the family abuse/trauma cycle. But it's never that simple even if you try.

He’s such a good boy most of the day but night time has been difficult and I just don’t know why. He knows he can get his way and ask us to come back in the room a million times for random things. I don’t think you damage your child by yelling at them a few times, but I don’t think parents should yell constantly. My son seems to listen when I yell but I don’t want him to only listen when I yell so I want to stop yelling and make him listen using another method.

The reality of parenthood is that your children will find out you are not perfect. However, if no abuse is involved, this will become a healthy expectation for themselves as future parents. They will fall short too and it's our job as parents to teach the process of saying sorry, forgiveness and unconditional love. Children are incredibly forgiving, and although that shouldn't be an excuse for poor behavior towards them, we must accept their forgiveness as a profound gift and forgive ourselves when we have fallen short.

When children make noise, we scold them to keep quiet. But, when adults make noise, who scold them? A case of "don't do what i do, do what i tell you to do!" As the song goes, "Speak softly...they listen but not hear." After all, it's a SMALL WORLD they grow up with. Childhood can never be replayed again.

[@Jeanpierres2023]

I'm sorry but ager is a natural feeling to being frustrated. Yelling like she did is a bit much though, sounds like she was holding her emotions in for a while. When I have an outburst, I apologize to him and I talk to my child about what we both can improve and we have a real conversation. The child flat out telling you "no" is not acceptable, you need to teach him how to communicate what he is feeling in the moment. It sounds like the speaker can improve on her communication skills so that she can teach her kid how to better express what he needs and why he didn't want to leave. No one likes to be yelled at but it is inevitable, everyone gets frustrated. You don't want your child afraid of the world yelling at them.

[@TheSculptedVegan]

You just need to decide to do it! Next time you indulge in a behaviour that you know isn't good, give yourself a consequence for if you do it again. If you actually uphold the consequence (like don't drink coffee for one week for example, if coffee is your thing) then you'll be less likely to do it again. If you REALLY want to transform something, you will do it. If it's important to you you'll find a way, if not, you'll find an excuse. ;-)

Why isn’t there any constructive advice about how to handle the screaming child in the car besides what she did.

What does that teach him? Try to reason with a 3 year old? Bribe with treats? She’s on a crusade to stop the yelling but gives no good alternative except a vague reference to emotional growth. Pretty disappointing

I hope she could explain more. Did she really stopped screaming at her child after that incidence for the next 8 years? How did she do it? The hardest part is not that I don't know what is right, but is that I can not do what is right.

I also have a question. How does KZbin arrange the order of reviews? I notice it is not arranged according to the posting time.

This made me cry so hard... i had a moment like hers (no sleep/exhausted and angry)and it scared me and made me check my emotions first before i react to my sons behavior. This video was so nice to see❤️thank you.

If I disobey my mom or my little sister....it is 100% my fault and I deserve whatever punishment they give me!

we hear a lot about what NOT to do but now WHAT to do instead. I wish they taught more mindfulness things starting in elementary school! Also what do you do to undo this type of harm how do you help heal your kids?

This is part of the MLM process…note she studied under Keith Ranieri (convicted and not he smartest man alive) I found her speech compelling and indeed important, though there likely is a sales pitch following. Anytime you don’t get answers , only high emotions and guilt/shame triggers…my spidey sense is on high alert.
