Document Summary
Assumes that parents act in the best interest of the child. Parents feeding kids food that they don"t want to eat because it"s good for them. Depending on age, children need 8-12 hours a night. People hugging/kissing kids that don"t like it but don"t have a say. Going to the doctor with mom over dad. Getting glasses and fighting over whether you can see or not. Fine line between coercion and persuasion (good intentions) Even if you don"t remember, your body does. Contradictions in reasoning create no win situations and double binds (bathroom context) Control and care of child"s bodies are adult"s work . If for the good of the child" is suspended as reasoning, then the experience of the child can be consulted and examined. Adults presumptuousness is not always or even often in the best interest of the child.
