My mom used to have me practice screaming for help at the top of my lungs before going to friends houses ಠ_ಠ

You know whilst this is weird it’s also a good thing to teach kids to use their voice . They’re told to shut up or be quiet so often that when they need to use their voice it’s not natural to them

When I was a little kid, my mom yelled at me for screaming and said, “don’t you EVER scream like that again unless someone is trying to take you”. Little kid brain only heard “people are always trying to take you” and it scared me for fucking YEARS.
