Sometimes in life, we learn lessons after the fact. We grow from them, and then we receive the gift of hindsight and wisdom.
Often times when we’re going through the toughest tests, we don’t see the outcome or the lesson because we tend to believe that the worst will not be over.
These lessons or hard pills to swallow don’t fully develop until we’ve made it to the other side and we can look back and see the growth that has happened during these difficult times.
Recently a Redditor took to the thread to ask the question, “what do we need to stop teaching children?” Here are the top 5 things Redditors believe we should stop teaching our children.
One Redditor replied, “Not to question things or think critically. The number of times I’ve seen people just shut down their kids for asking a question is wild. It’s no wonder there are so many stupid people out there when they were taught from a young age that asking questions is a bad thing.”
“That failure is something to be ashamed of and to avoid at all costs. But, unfortunately, we all fail sometimes, and we need to be able to accept that reality,” one replied.
One Redditor said, “That they can scream and throw tantrums to get what they want. The number of parents who give in to that noise and enable them to become monsters addicted to tablets is ridiculous.”
One person volunteered a harmful mentality to hold, “If he’s mean to you, he likes you. I tell my daughter, ‘It doesn’t matter if he likes you. If he’s not kind, he’s not worth your time.”
