Research shows that spanking can have lasting negative effects on a child's brain, leading to a cycle of unhealthy and abusive relationships later in life. It sends the message that those who love them are allowed to hurt them physically.

The success of your family is dependent on the standing of your character. If you have hate in your heart, you will dominate with vengeance and punishment. If you are at peace with yourself, you will lead with empathy and influence.

Many parents try to correct behavior before they establish connection. Children learn best when they feel emotionally safe enough to stay open instead of defensive. When fear enters the interaction, the nervous system shifts into protection mode. Learning drops, and survival takes over. That’s why yelling, intimidation, and physical punishment often create short-term compliance but long-term disconnection. A child who feels safe can reflect. A child who feels threatened can only react.

Children rarely stop talking to their parents suddenly. It happens slowly. Every interruption. Every dismissal. Every overreaction. Every moment where vulnerability is met with shame, punishment, or emotional instability. Eventually, the child learns, “It’s safer to keep things to myself.” Then, years later, parents wake up, wondering why their teenager hides everything from them. Trust wasn’t lost in one moment. It eroded across thousands of small ones.

Punishment teaches children to focus on consequences. Guidance teaches children to focus on principles. That difference matters more than most people realize. A child trained through punishment learns to ask: “What happens to me if I get caught?” A child guided through discussion, empathy, and accountability learns to ask: “What kind of person do I want to become?” One creates external control dependency. The other builds internal morality. Punishment does not work.

@PeacefulFathers Pretty good reminder. I had to sit our kids down and let them know telling the truth would not get them in trouble. Nervous at first. But after about 10mins the flood gates opened. Mom & I sat quietly & listened. 3 hours later no punishments. No lectures. 4 years later...

A lot of children lie because the truth doesn’t feel safe. When mistakes are met with yelling, shame, punishment, or emotional explosions, honesty becomes risky. So children adapt. They hide. Minimize. Avoid. Deflect. Not because they are naturally deceptive, but because protecting themselves becomes more important than telling the truth. The tragedy is that many parents think harsher punishment will solve lying, even though the punishment itself is often part of what created it.

We like to imagine human beings are rational creatures who occasionally become emotional. I think it’s much closer to the opposite. I think most people are emotionally conditioned creatures who spend enormous amounts of energy constructing logical explanations for feelings that were trained into them long before they had conscious choice. open.substack.com/pub/anthonysmi…

A man in fear desperately tries to control. When in peace, he sits and lets the world form around him. #Peaceful #Fathers

@HubbyGift Yes, kids naturally want to help, and it is up to parents to facilitate that desire to be included without punishment or force.

Tie their shoes. Pack their lunches. Do their laundry. Clean their rooms. Do the dishes. Etc. Kids can do all these things. If kids do them they increase their self-worth in their own eyes. They see they are capable, competent, and contribute value to the family beyond just being part of the family.

Most parenting advice online focuses on controlling children. Very little focuses on helping adults regulate themselves first. Emotionally unstable men trying to control emotionally undeveloped children is the real issue underneath much of modern family dysfunction. Children are still learning how to process emotion. Dads are supposed to model it. When men cannot manage stress without yelling, threatening, shaming, or escalating, children absorb that as the blueprint for how human beings handle pressure. That blueprint becomes the domestic abuser, the incel, the misogynist, the bully, the Nice Guy, or the depressed, suicidal man trying to survive.

Becoming a better father is a continuous process of learning and adjustment. You will make mistakes. You will get frustrated. You will have moments where you don’t respond the way you wish you had. That doesn’t define you as a father. What defines you is whether you take responsibility for it and choose to grow from it. You are not locked into the version of yourself you were yesterday. You can become stable. More patient. More aware. More in control of how you respond under pressure. Your home can shift with you. You can have fewer reactions. More reflection. Less chaos. More stability. Over time, your children don’t just hear your lessons; they experience your growth.

People blame “iPad kids” like children invented digital addiction on their own. Kids don’t create the emotional environment they grow up in. They watch adults scroll through dinner, numb stress with entertainment, avoid silence, and panic without stimulation. Then we act shocked when children become attached to screens, too. Technology is not just raising children. It’s replacing exhausted, emotionally unavailable, and overstimulated adults in homes that no longer know how to slow down. The issue isn’t only screen time. It’s what children are no longer receiving while the screen fills the gap.

Children today are more anxious than ever, and adults keep treating it like a mysterious disorder appearing out of nowhere. Children absorb emotional environments. They grow up surrounded by stressed parents, constant stimulation, fractured attention, financial pressure, unstable relationships, and nervous systems permanently stuck in fight-or-flight. Then we hand them tablets, diagnoses, medication, and distractions instead of connection and secure attachment. What type of society and world is created from such dysfunction? A fear-based culture that encourages division through religion and politics, generational theft through taxes and inflation, political corruption, and rampant child abuse.

@PeacefulFathers Correct. It’s not just fathers tho. Moms do too much for kids, robbing them of self-esteem building opportunities. Moms steal those moments so they can feel better about themselves for “being a good mom”.

Freedomain - with Stefan Molyneux, MA
The idea that “men = violence” is beyond ridiculous. Women are far more violent towards children and the unborn. Women are 50% of domestic violence. I’ve been talking about this for 40 years. The world is still not ready for that conversation.
Coach Noah Revoy | Arms Dealer For The Soul 🏴‍☠️@NoahRevoy

The absolute and total feminization of institutions, especially those of education, has led to extremely feminized thinking about research. These researchers, some of whom are physically women and the rest of whom are (mostly) spiritual women, cannot bring themselves to face the real nature of mankind. There are many reasons for this, and they are all connected. Here are two of them. To face the real nature of humanity, you must accept that violence is golden, as Jack Donovan (@mr_jackdonovan) said, and is the primary social tool by which society functions. We are either cooperating to protect ourselves from violence, cooperating to commit violence, or some combination of the two. Violence (and politics) is the primary job of men, which brings up the second point. Men are indispensable. We are the backbone of civilization, and civilizations cannot exist without us being men. That means more than just having an X and a Y chromosome, but acting in a masculine way, being dominant, strong, courageous, and willing to fight for ourselves and those we care about. This is something women cannot do, and it makes them dependent on men for survival. That terrifies the effeminate male, who cannot participate in that and therefore has no place in that hierarchy, neither as a masculine man nor as a feminine woman. It also terrifies the unwanted women, who cannot find their place with a man to protect them. Institutions tend to collect these people the way a poorly run company collects debts, until the weight of it all crushes the institution and reveals it for what it is.
