I think if you intend to tell a child that two wrongs don't make a right, you'd need to apply that to your own behaviour too.

Because its no good telling a kid not to respond to negative behaviour with negative consequences if you do that yourself.

Instead you could help them think about when this is helpful & when it isn't, when they can handle it themselves & when they can't.

It makes me very anxious not to be an unfair or unreasonable parent tho & not to ban anything without very good reason.

I think this is good coz my daughter also gets outraged at what she sees as unfairness. I have no idea whether this is nature or nurture.

But I'm not a particularly permissive parent. I have very little tolerance for behaviour that is unpleasant for others.

You do realise your influence has limits, right? Lucy is a certain way. You can't really change that. If she can be who she is

Yes, Tamara, I do realise that. It won't stop her from analysing my parenting as an adult tho.
