Teaching kids to be quiet/obedient doesn’t always work
I’ve noticed a few children that have been taught that to be respectful you should speak when spoken to, help others in need and to be a “good” obedient child, but the impact it has on social skills is massive.
How else is a child supposed to stand up for what they believe is right, if they’re not used to using their voice to confront people. It also leads to being taken advantage of as they prioritise helping others without healthy boundaries which can cause more harm than good.
