Do not punish the behaviour you want to see

I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right?

But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize,  snarkily say, “So, you’ve decided to join us”?

Or when someone does something they’ve had trouble doing, say, “Why can’t you do that all the time?” (Happened to me, too often.)

Or any sentence containing the word “finally”. 

If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don’t complain about how it’s not enough. Don’t bring up previous stuff. Encourage it.

Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.

Encouragement and acknowledgment are so much more effective than punishment.

One of the moments that I think about a lot when I think about how much I love my Dad, is that once when I was a teenager prone to spending long hours alone in my room I emerged to spend time with the family, he joked “Oh look, it’s the lodger!”

And before I’d even processed what he meant (that I was behaving more like a tenant than a family member), he went on some kind of internal flashback journey, and said “My father used to say that to me and I hated it, I don’t know why I said it to you,” and he apologised, and never made a joke like that again.

It’s like he did a speedrun on overcoming generational trauma.

ID: A Venn diagram made of three circles, one for Vash from Trigun, one for Qifrey from Witch Hat Atelier and one for Reigen from Mob Psycho 100. The overlap between Vash and Qifrey is “long, concealing clothing + tiny glasses,” “actually a plant??? (pending)” and “people are always this 👌 close to publicly throwing rocks at me.” The overlap between Qifrey and Reigen contains the phrases “taking on a student to further their own goals” and “actually an amazing mentor though.” The overlap between Reigen and Vash is a screenshot of a tweet reading “I dated a 5'8 guy who'd taunt every jacked, 6'3 bro he met until they'd pull their fist back to beat him up, whereupon my ex would go heyheyheyyy c'maahn I'm a little guy, l'm just a little guyy, noo, it's also my birthday, l'm a little birthday boyy & it somehow always worked.” The overlap between all three of them just contains the words “dishonest motherfucker (said lovingly).”
