What? We canāt even call poor behavior bad anymore? This script could only have been written by someone who doesnāt have kids I swear.
But seriously. Iām not coddling my kids by avoiding the term ābadā it comes to their behavior. You going to start saying criminals arenāt bad guys just ābrand new guysā? Stupid.
I think you might be missing the point. Itās important for kids to know that they are not inherently ābadā because of bad behavior. They are not permanently defined by their mistakes. The father rightly corrected the behavior by issuing a punishment, but he wants the kid to know that heās not going to stay mad at him or define him as a ābad kidā because he made a bad choice.
