I know 11ish year old kids who, while not perfect, are well behaved. You don't grow in or out of such behavior. You either choose to do it or you don't. There are consequences. |
That's great but that doesn't really contradict what I said. "growing out" is just terminology. All I am saying is that I spent most of my life with a parent who did not parent well. There were consequences but at least when it came to online trash talking I did end up not doing it once I got older. Granted I was never a huge trash talker but it definitely happened more in the past compared to now (and I would say I was a "well behaved" 11 year old, there is a difference between how you act in public and online).
If you are saying that you will make sure that your kid never becomes that kind of toxic person, than good on you. Parenting is very important and that is what I partially based my reply on.
