Behavioral Problems = Legitimate Conflict

A sentence from Unconditional Parenting:

Norman Kunc, who conducts workshops on inclusive education and noncoercive practices, points out that, "what we call "behavioral problems" are often situations of legitimate conflict; we just get to call them behavioral problems because we have more power" than children do.

This sentence encompasses the truth that for century humankind has been domesticating its young like wild animals, often believing that the docility signifying braking the animal's spirit is a sign of respect or appreciation.

Human children are born as warriors, living with their lives on the line from day one, commanding the universe to meet their needs and desires.
