🙋♀️🙋♂️Hands up all those who have been emotionally or ‘sweet n ice-cream’ blackmailed into hugging, kissing, standing, sitting, eating, studying?
It’s every parents’ go-to when they want their kids to do something that satisfies them BUT directly goes against the instinct or desire of what their child feels or wants… and therein lies the danger.
When parents chronically (chronic being the operative word) do this, children start to believe that in order to get something they want or desire, they have to (or must do) something that they don’t want to do when an adult asks them to - whether good, bad or ugly.
Such messages and belief systems are dangerous when used by abusers to groom kids into doing things that they don’t instinctively and intrinsically want to do, just because they are adults ‘who know best’ and hold the key to ‘candy’.
Of course, this blackmail rule doesn’t apply to the one-off blackmailing statement that every parent uses (even psychologists admit they do this occasionally) - but it becomes an issue when it happens so often that children stop listening to their own instincts in order to do what is being asked of them!

Oprah’s favourite parenting coach and psychologist @doctorshefali tells ‘father first and Filmmaker next’ @karanjohar that emotionally repressed boys turn into emotionally devoid men; all while comedian and actor Nitinn Miranni @thenitinmirani plays the part of a typical dad from the East who totally hates on ‘conscious parenting’!
Stay tuned for more on the toxicity with which we have all been raised in the East, how societal and cultural norms rob us of our chance at happiness and how social media is sending the rates of mental illness through the roof!
A big thank you to Dr. Shefali, Karan and Nitinn for your trust in us and @tehzeeb77 and @len5bm for all your unconditional support!
