"I Don’t Want My Child to Be Well-Behaved — I Want Them to Be Fully Alive"

"I Don’t Want My Child to Be Well-Behaved — I Want Them to Be Fully Alive"

Let’s talk about what “well-behaved” actually means in our society.

When we say a child is well-behaved, we often mean:

• They don’t interrupt adults.
• They sit quietly, even when upset.
• They say please and thank you, even when they’re uncomfortable.
• They don’t express anger.
• They don’t say “No.”
• They don’t cry loudly.
• They don’t challenge anything we say.
  Basically, they’re quiet, compliant, and convenient.
  But here’s the truth:
   When we train our kids to be “well-behaved” by silencing their emotions or discouraging self-expression, we’re not raising peaceful children — we’re raising suppressed children.
