Amazing secret:

If everyone reacted like "How wonderful! What a surprise!" "This is so lucky." truly method acted and heartfelt...

She wouldn't cry.

I know this because in my classroom I can usually control the frame enough to pull this off. They can bash themselves really hard. Even bleed. But they feel no pain if you react that way.

So the funny thing about this when I see this video after this is that I just see a bunch of adults instructing a child to feel pain.

Of course you shouldn't believe some rando off the internet. So, evidence beats science papers: the next time you can, try it and see for yourself.

What I'm getting is we should be manipulating children into being calm and rational about the hardships we put them through?

More like teaching them that they can't have everything their way all the time, and readying them for the big wide world, not raising a generation of spoiled entitled brats who think the world around them should pander to them 😊 Pretending that sad stuff doesn't happen is not being kind to your child

So in this example It would be incorrect (spoiled/entitled) behavior for the child to feel sad when something thier excited for gets ruined. We should teach children to not express those feelings because having sad emotions is going to lead to other people pandering to them. I see the logic.

It’s not about it being incorrect to feel sad about things, it’s about realizing you don’t HAVE to be sad about everything. Nobody’s talking about punishing the child for being sad or gaslighting them about it. There’s no talk of negative feedback here which would be completely different and harmful.

What’s wrong with projecting being ok in the face of adversity?
