Yes but his attitude wasn't one that looked to de-escalate... All the contrary. Good long listening, patience, perseverance, resilience, respect & love. These are the things strict, but loving parents use to achieve real, long term positive results. Not aggressiveness and getting into kids' faces. They like to say they live by the Bible's teachings, but this dad forgot Ephesians 6:4, that says: "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."

I was thinking the same thing. He seems calm, but underneath that, I feel like the rage is bubbling.

[@jusmaxjust]

​@theresonlyonequeenbee he seems proportionally composed. He can assert his dominance in an intimidating but non threatening manner. Idk if I would have as strict of an approach as him, but it is on that does work. Just look at his daughter's, perfectly well mannered. If he had the two he took in since birth they would be the same way.

The one thing that is so destructive i when the "adult" thinks or acts like they are always right when they think they are right and will be so stubborn to the point where they will not listen to their kids or others if they have differences in opinions which in of itself can cause lots of friction/attitudes/etc. If I think i am right but I am not, I will still listen to people and especially if they have proof of what they are saying, I will review it, cause none of us are perfect/always right, lolz :)

It's the fact that soon after that meltdown, Paul went to bad mouth the girl to his daughters and wifte ,which I think is just disgusting because not only was he the reason that fight started , he is putting himself in the right to people who can't and don't understand the girl's side of what just happened , i am not saying what she said was right but it was expected because of how Paul was escalating the situation ,he legit didn't even apologize for what he said "I'm sorry your feelings got hurt" isn't an apology

[@Yeeniedotexe]

It's interesting to see these reuploads and the message that people get from these episodes. The discipline isn't the only thing that goes into the success stories. There's love and thought behind the parents that help these children. They aren't barking orders and getting frustrated with the child. They are firm, but know how to stay calm. They show love to the kids and try to connect with them. Good parenting takes positive actions and effort from both the parent and the child. They magnify the kids flaws, but often don't address any issues that may be causing small disfunctions that may lead to bigger issues. Relationships are complex and can't be viewed from any single perspective.
