7 RULES OF UNHEALTHY ADULT-CHILD GROUP SYSTEMS

compiled by Jane Bluestein, Ph.D. 

1. Adults are the masters of the dependent child.
2. Adults determine in a godlike fashion what is right and wrong.
3. The child is held responsible for the anger of adults.
4. [Adults] must always be shielded.
5. The child's life-affirming feelings pose a threat to the autocratic [adult].
6. The child's will must be "broken" as soon as possible.
7. All this must happen at a very early age so the child "won't notice" and will not be able to expose the adults.

 

This information is known as the "poisonous pedagogy" and was taken from “For Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence” by Alice Miller, page 59.
