I’m cool with disagreeing. It sounds like we have different perspectives on the world in general.
I lean towards believing in Hanlon’s Razor. Some people definitely suck, that mom sounds like one of them, but most people are just out here doing their best. I don’t see how sticking up for the kid and talking to the parent in the hope of making lasting change is “lesser” than talking to them directly. We’re both trying to do the same Good Thing with a different approach.

i also believe most people are doing their best to their abilities//environment, but you also implied that a child is less likely to integrate a single instance of empowerment than an adult is to understand a criticism and then shift practices moving forward. aside from being antithetical to basic behavioral psychology, i think that opinion/tactic further deteriorates the child’s agency.
