I quite liked Bhavana'scomment at the end of the session - why do we need a session on discipline and related to it - what is discipline.
I am still reflecting on it - is it corporal punishment, it is shouting, is it a show of anger - what is it...
Anus confessions touched me - it also helped me to open up about the topic. Till about two weeks ago, I used to raise my hand sometimes and my voice often. Now I am very conscious and aware of when I get angry. I move away after telling her that I am getting angry ( so its my feeling...)
Todays session made me turn the question upside down and say what is punishment - is it just raising my hands or shouting or is it more.....
Bhavana made a comment - We've all read this saying CHILD IS GOD, then why dont we show the same respect to the child.....
There is one change that I am conciosly making - that is to "free" my child from me, I will be there when she needs me but let me not impose myself on her ( I realsie that not having a child for so many years of our marriage has made me run my whole life around her, I am working on changing that). At times I feel lost if she is spending time with someone else...
