to experience the unpleasantness and embarrassment of being late
to school;
to encourage the
child and spend time with him playing and learning (positively) rather than spending time lecturing and disciplining (negatively), since the
child who is misbehaving is often merely craving attention and
if he gets it in pleasant, constructive ways, he will not demand it in antisocial ways;
to avoid trying
to put the
child in a mold of what the parent thinks he should do and be, or what other people think he should do and be, rather than what his natural
gifts and tendencies indicate;
to take time
to train the
child in basic skills —

if I'm wrong about Jesus, he was at least a Rabbi who loved his followers, and who taught, peace, compassion, forgiveness, and inclusiveness... If I'm right, Jesus is the most amazing, wonderful gift GOD could ever give to his beloved creation... in either event, belief in him, and sharing those beliefs with children is not abuse, it's loving and nurturing fact based belief, not mythology.
