I thought it was the liberal point of view that ruined musical chairs.....did you know that NOW when the children play musical chairs NO ONE looses!!! We do not want to hurt their little feelings....
It is ok to have a political point of view but be careful when you do.... It is the liberal point of view to shower children with entitlements, winning every game and over attention to 'positive' reinenforcement. And if it has to be turned into a political issue--you are the one expressing the 'liberal' point of view here....Conservatives in general believe a lot more in natual consequences and in discipline--responsibility for actions....it happens to be the liberal point of view that has undermined a parents ability to raise children with the acceptance of losses and the consequences of misbehaviors.
Many of the children being adopted from Foster Care were experinecing a very dysfunctional lifestyle before they were placed into to care. My daughter was POSTIVELY reinforced for shoplifting and touching grown mens private parts. She was positively reniforced for fetching the try and straw so her birhtmother could snort another line of meth. The last approach that will be productive in her life is to have her every move postively reinforced...she MUST have consequences that HELP her understand and learn realistic boundries....
