Back in my school, teachers would beat up kids because it keeps them from becoming drug addicts. So the definition of fine back then was "not a drug addict". If you were ambitious, it would be "graduated from college".

Stops the teachers from becoming drug addicts? A good bit of HIIT to fuel their dopamine I guess!

Ironically, drug addiction is often related to early life trauma.

school is a WHOLE OTHER story from parenting though… most schools will F kids up :)

there 8+ billion of us, not all can be fine I agree. my comment was just a general principle that we overdo and over think parenting. BE THERE and use common sense - that will take care of most of what your kid needs.
