Unprepared for Parenting (Ezzos, Pearls, Etc.) *Public*Support and information for those affected by the Ezzos, the Pearls, and other punitive and adversarial methods of child-rearing. A public forum. Before posting here, please read this sticky and keep guideline 23 in mind:
23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas. We all struggle at times as parents and have much to learn, and GCM's focus is to provide tools and information for each of us to parent more effectively. Posts voicing some frustration regarding choices made by others can be okay, but it needs to be within the overall context of seeking understanding or ideas for better responses in the future.
Re: Another adopted child...parents followed Pearl methods
We should try to stop him on earth anyway. What kind of person walks up to an 11 month old and HITS him with a switch? Then he says, "I was trying to make friends with him." Dude could have just poured out the coins on the floor and played with the kid instead of hitting him. WHY do people follow that guy's advice? I'd never listen to a word he says.
