You find your only son crying in the corner of the house. He's scrawled up, you know something is wrong...

I'm conducting some research on this board. Your response to the situation is reasonable.

report back with results

Pick the boy's pocket to take the stolen property for yourself, and leave the boy to his fate

How do you know I posted the results?
Good Fallout 3 reference you did there, but could you answer the question.

Beat him for crying like a little girl. If he cries in response to being hit, hit him harder. Eventually he'll wise up and shut his mouth.
He'll appreciate this when he's older and doesn't post about his sissy feelings on stupid imageboards.

I believe it is best to treat kids as though they are adults. Obviously do it with the knowledge that they're still kids, but all I wanted when I was that age was for someone to tell me what was happening to me.

I rejoice, for it means that I finally had sex with a woman.

Ask him what's up. Literally the only answer.

What's the logic behind treating a kid like this? Have you experience similar treatment?

Ask him why he is crying, and if there's something I can do about it, and if I can't, explain why. I think that you feel less emotional when you can understand a situation, when you can rationalize it. It's easy to thrown a tantrum or feel sad when you think things aren't fair.

So directness breaks barriers when communicating with a child?

>logic behind it
have you ever actually been in this situation? It's terrifying not knowing what to do. I'm pretty sure it's just how some people react to that fear.

Wait I was asking a question

The logic would be teaching the kid to be tough. Teach them to control their emotions. Teach them to be strong.
It worked for most of human history. Doesn't seem to work in the modern age, though. No-one knows why.

I think it's a way to show that you take them and their feelings seriously. If you think about how you would react to finding an adult you care about like that, what's really so different in how you would react? Ask what's wrong and work on a plan to deal with it with them. I think my extreme hatred of comfort, complements, etc... clouds my judgement on things like this, but it's likely at least part of a reasonable response.

because I don't believe that was ever the norm at any point in history. Beating any ability to deal with emotions and setbacks out of a kid simply wont help them.

It teaches them to not dwell on those emotions and setbacks but to toughen up and move on.

However it a reoccurring theme that boys subjected to physical because of showing emotions or making a mistake tend to be more volatile.

Imagine thinking that physical abuse can solve anything. Let's just beat adults too. And the elderly. Just torture anyone you can if you think you can teach them something.

>volatile
You mean strong, aggressive, assertive. Unwilling to take shit. It makes men into men, instead of passive wimps.

No, as in children won't be able to control their emotions. This leads to poor grades in school, poor social interactions, and become vulnerable to strangers (gang members, rapists, groomers, extremist groups, cults)
