With how violent our world is getting I think there are other things causing that and it was never playing tag or red rover that did it.MissFifihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948141818594611257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-3710647663875618052015-12-03T07:39:19.779-08:002015-12-03T07:39:19.779-08:00In my experience with adults and children, us stro...In my experience with adults and children, us strong-willed people really NEED to bump up against other strong willed people in a context of love and support. It's terrifying, especially at a young age, to feel more powerful than everyone around you (especially the adults in charge), and eventually it becomes reassuring when someone stands up to you. Not necessarily in the moment, I mean we all react in normal ways with emotions and push-back and all that, but for those of us with big personalities and even bigger willpower, having someone stand up and match that energy actually helps us feel ourselves in the social space - where we end and another person begins, where our desires meet another's, where we belong, and where others belong and how to make that work without isolating or cutting somebody off. When people yield to you all the time, you don't get that feedback. Thanks TT for keepin it real!ljkittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393612309894978198noreply@blogger.com
