“When your child does something like behave like a bully, the consequence should fit the crime,” adolescent, child, and family psychologist Barbara Greenberg tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “A more appropriate response should have been for the child to do repair work. That would mean, for example, apologizing to other kids, or engaging in acts of kindness. The child’s already been suspended from the bus — that’s an appropriate response from the school. From the father, you focus in on the bullying behavior, and you teach the child empathy.”
Greenberg agrees with Thornhill that it’s a good idea to have a zero-tolerance policy on bullying and also agrees with his assertion that exercise is good for his son. Where Greenberg takes issue is that the father seems to be punishing his child by shaming him — which, in effect, makes the dad a bully too.
Fucking nonsense. Good call Dad.
This dad is going viral for making his son, 10, run to school in the rain — did he go too far?
