The Blog About The Things and such.

Alex L's the name and fun times is the game. I mostly reblog fun, interesting or important posts here. If you wanna see more of my art stuff, it's over at @matantel. I'll post art there...sometimes.

Am I the only one who thinks that hitting a kid and abuse are different things? Like, if I ever had a kid, I wouldn’t spank their ass raw or something like that. But a bop on the mouth or the ear pull or a smack upside the head? Yea. Those are behavior modifiers.

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

Except they’re not.

The studies done by the trained psychologists in this joke show that little kids don’t associate being hit with the thing they’ve done wrong. Very small children only understand consequences that are directly caused by the thing they did. Steal a biscuit, biscuit tastes good. Then for no reason mummy hit me. Very different to stole a biscuit, now no biscuit after dinner because I stole a biscuit.

And they also show that when a child is old enough to understand why they are being hit that non-physical punishment is equally as effective and less mentally harmful in the long run.

Do you know who benefits the most from hitting as a punishment? The parent. It gives a satisfaction rush. Parents do it because it makes them feel good.

Basically kids have two stages: too young to understand why they are being hit so physical punishment is useless for anything other than teaching a child that bigger stronger people can hit you whenever they like (Which sounds like the same lesson you would learn from abuse)

And the second stage is old enough to be reasoned with so many punishment options are available and you chose physical violence because it makes *you* feel better, which is an abusive action.

The only time a person should ever use violence against another human being, of any age, is to stop that person from being violent themselves.

Hitting a stranger is a crime. Hitting someone small who relies on you for food, love, and shelter should be as well. Don’t hit your fucking kid.

I want the energy of someone whom is holding your face and merrily laughing.

You are apologizing for something that needn't be apologized for -- dinner is late, dishes are dirty, it's raining -- and every time you start I kiss your cheek, the other cheek, your forehead.

I am not dismissing your fears, I am seeking to remove them.

My laughter is bells and it is a tower full of midnight and I am announcing it. My hands are soft and my nails are pretty and I am able to melt fears and worry and make things softer.

[netherworldpost]

if you reblog this and add in text or tag the name of someone with "this is you for me" or "this is me for you" then I hope you two (or more, this house is solidly build on folks say who they are and that's enough explanation) are able to kiss soon and it's a little better than you were anticipating

if the other party is fictional then I hope... hm. I hope you find an extra detail in the rewatching / rereading of your passion, something you've some how missed all these years, something small and new to fall in love with all over again

i hope the day is soft for you

we can all use soft days

mandela effect: dogs seem to have gotten smaller since I was a child. they're not as big anymore.

[princelapine-deactivated2025031]

I think you've gotten bigger, making all dogs appear smaller from your perspective

[toskarin]
