(57,936 posts)They are shifting the focus from the violence and killing by the police to their own violence. That is not a good strategy. It is a stupid strategy.
Kids need to learn at ages 2-3 to use their words and not violence to express their anger. And parents need to listen and understand the anger of their children on the one hand and on the other strictly demand self-control when it comes to the expression of physical violence toward others or their toys. It is a question of being firm with children.
When parents hit their children or yell at them, the children learn that is what grown-ups do.
There are excellent courses on parenting and on non-violent communication. Parents should take them. There is no reason and no excuse for being violent with children.
