RE: Though The Path May Be Undesirable You Can Count On Me To Travel It With You - Blockchain Coffee “Manipulation”

in #freewrite5 years ago

Manipulation is manipulation even in the case of your example to make your child eat. There might be a very good reason why it refuses to eat.
Children still listen to their instinct/body adults don't.

I was forced to eat honey.
I could not. Quess what? I turned out to be allergic to it.

Small chance it will die for hunger. My youngest did not and lived, after I stopped breastfeeding) on air next to pancakes and french fries (no sauce) for the first 8 years of her life. Still a problematic eater.
Quess what? She is the most healthiest one of all. Tall, slim, high IQ (so no brain damage).

LOL well I was referring more to the situation then to the reason behind the situation, parents should always have some sense of intuition about the sort of stuff. There are contexts to which manipulation, albeit in perspective of the larger picture, is actually a positive despite being a momentary disturbance.

There is such a thing as the gentle hand of manipulation but being forced is whole other subject 😉

Okay the gentle hand it is.. A push or suggestion instead of manipulation and force. 💕

Well if you think of it is not that suggestion just by the mere act of implying it is in itself a manipulation?
