the indians would have a boy child squat....20 feet from a goal..”tree..roch ect”.....in the heat....desert ......he had an adult “ussually grandpa”.....sitting near by....starting at about age 3.....so....he had to wiggle...his feet....very slowly......untill he got to the goal.......if the adult SAW him move.....he starts over.....no food or water....
the asians played a game....older kids or adults...would try to stomp on the feet of a child....after a while they go pretty fast w their feet.....and of course would NEVER stand in the way of a superior.....
There were also a variety of very painfull positions to hold...and tasks to master....
of course the afrricans just eat them.....every once in a while a kid just dissapears.....gone.....
in tibet when the chins took over.....if anyone was found w a gun....the whole family was burned...in public....people who were there think at least 10 mil...were killed...and 700k eaten.....because that was required by party officials”.....
This guy in the story sounds like a sht-bird...but im trying to emphasis the huge GULF....between american socialization and many other parts of the world....
oh well
The father wasn’t teaching anything - he was damaging the child.
And totalitarian murderers are not the models for constructive discipline that I respect.
In addition, there’s a difference between insanity and sophistication. If tribal elders needed warriors, they didn’t make trainings so severe that they crippled or killed their own children. They knew life was hard enough, and that if they abandoned their humanity, those children would grow up to kill THEM.
