So how do you deal with a parent that won't take proper care of their kid? The hygienic dimension and preventing the child from wasting all their time
And other contexts apply too.
This is so common in poor communities.
Discipline their kids instead of me taking that role. I feel like that role gets pushed on me.
Just to be clear here because many of you are wackjobs and there aren't enough asylums to host you all.
This isn't about beating up kids or any of your insane urges. Get that treated.
This is about scolding, lecturing, taking away tech...etc.
I don't want to play that role as a mentor or a teacher. I want to address their brains, their intellect.. especially when they already have parent(s). I can't mother every single child. Yes, they all matter. But I can't encourage their parents' passivity.
I also have limited emotional resources.
The other day I had to work while sick. As soon as I get to the ER and it is one of my students!! Seriously. I have told her mother over and over to instruct her kid to only play near their own home. And what happened wouldn't have to if she didn't stray away in rocky area.
She is fine now but not without life long physical reminder.
Her mother was emotionally collapsing so I didn't say anything at the time. But darn I want to slap her on the back of the head.
Accidents do happen. They happen less when you take proactive measures and keep an eye on your kids instead going out all the time and leaving them alone. Kids can't raise other kids.
I also had a kid who always smelled. I don't think I should have had that conversation with his parent. Water exists.
There are so many cases.
These kids deserve better.
