Rethinking Consequences in Parenting
The speaker expresses a personal aversion to the word 'consequence', associating it with a feeling of dislike towards their child. They believe that using the word 'consequence' elicits a sense of antagonism and feels like being against their child. Instead, they propose the idea of 'letting life transpire', which involves allowing natural events to unfold without intervening. They give examples such as letting their child forget a water bottle or not plugging in a laptop before school, emphasizing the importance of letting things happen without trying to change the course of events.
