Look, I’m sure he meant well but this is ill-advised. A Virginia father posted a Facebook video that he says shows his 10-year-old son running to school in the rain as a form of punishment for bullying in school and being banned from the school bus.
Bryan Thornhill said his technique is working. He said his son was “out of his mind” last week and — since the punnishment — has not gotten into trouble.
“This right here is called parenting,” he said, according to a Daily Mail report. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/06/virginia-dad-forces-bully-son-10-to-run-to-school-in-rain-after-being-banned-from-bus.html
But Dr. Gail Gross, Ph.D., Ed.D., M.Ed, says it’s never okay for parents to shame a child. “A parent that shames their child is violating all the basic tenants of what parenting is about,” she told Parenting.com. “Parents are supposed to be their safety net.”
Shaming children violates their trust in their parents and can lead to permanent, lifelong problems for kids, Dr. Gross says.
“Every relationship is based on early childhood patterns,” she explains.
She says shaming can actually change a child’s development, putting undue stress on the brain. Anxiety and depression later in life can stem from a shaming incident during childhood. Some kids even suffer post-traumatic stress disorder after being shamed by a parent, or worse yet, commit suicide. https://www.parenting.com/child/behavior/true-effects-parents-shaming-their-kids-online
