A worker undertook once to tell my daughter that all her autistic son needed to have him behave properly was a good spanking. My daughter was appropriately outraged, and hesitated to remind the worker that HE was the one who needed the good spanking to behave appropriately when he was the same age. Good for her!
We had the similar "advise" when our two sons were young.
One was autistic (although at that time we didn't even know that term) and the other was acting out because he had multiple problems.
My brother who was in the work at that time, "kindly" came to our tent at convention and informed us that "the workers didn't approve of the way we were raising our children!"
My husband had to practically sit on me to keep me from yelling all over the place.!
It's a culture of suppressing righteous outrage for the comfort of the ministry.

Because he told off several workers in his day!

A really good book about children that have a delayed response in different areas is "The Explosive Child: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children, by Ross W. Greene. He points out that these children don't change with the traditional ways we have parented, reward/punishment. That they know exactly what we want from them and they do want to give it to us, but when they start going into the circumstances that end up in meltdowns, it's like they have absolutely no control once it gets past a certain stage. He teaches parents and teachers to recognize the early signs of the things that escalate into a meltdown and deal with it while the child still has the capacity to change their response to the trigger. I'm not finished the book, but so far it's very good and insightful.

“How to succeed: First, labor. Nothing can be had for nothing; whatever a man achieves, he must pay for it; and no favor of fortune can absolve him from duty. Secondly, patience and forbearance, which is simply dependent upon the slow justice of time. Thirdly, and important, faith. Unless a man believes in something far higher than himself, something infinitely purer and grander than he can ever become—unless he has an instinct of an order beyond his dreams, of laws beyond his comprehension, of beauty and good and justice, beside which his own ideals are dark, he will fail in every loftier form of ambition, and ought to fail.” – Bayard Taylor

But I disagree that we need a power higher than any man can achieve to strive for something better. It seems to come naturally for mankind to want to achieve.

Yes, that came out several months ago when you weren't on here much. Hopefully it will be viewed by the Truth's members and believed. Awareness is the first step towards change for the better. Hopefully this will help people in the Truth to be more aware of what is happening and take steps to be more vigilant of their children and at the very least, believe them if they should report CSA.

There will be some happy people on TMB because we are going over to the coast for a few days to have our annual Christmas party with our Family, 3 Sons, 1 Daughter, 12 Grandchildren. They won't all make it, but those that can't will call in on FaceTime, etc. It is a great time for my Wife and I, to sit at the head of the table and enjoy the moment. None are religious, some are atheist, but my oldest Son will ask me to say a blessing before our main meal. I am always glad to do that, they respect our values, and we never forget where we came from.
Not boasting but none our Family have ever been charged or had to appear before a Court of Law. I am the only naughty one who has had to do that. So we got something right, most of the credit goes to my dear Wife. Many of the Family have graduated from University,and are holding down top jobs. It makes us proud to see the way they have achieved. 2 that won't be there are in America at the moment on Honeymoon, but we will hear from them. Also of course we will pause to remember Ben, our oldest Grandson who we lost because of a drowning accident in 2007. He was 18 at the time, will always be remembered.
Slight hiccup, because of the bad fires we cannot take the most direct route, the detour will involve 100kM of extra travel.
Don't get too excited about my absence, "I will be back".

What if Australia was a town of 100: Ipsos report How well you do understand our country and its people?
illustration of diverse community Leon Della Bosca Editor 17th Dec 2019
How well do you know your neighbour, how he or she feels about immigration, politics, capitalism or climate change?
Each year, Ipsos undertakes research with more than a million Australians to learn (within known margins of error) about sentiments across the wider population.
What if Australia were a small town with a population of 100 adults? Ipsos has condensed its findings and presented them in this vein.
So, what is Australia like? How well you do understand our country and its people? Here’s what our town of 100 thinks, according to Ipsos.
86 people believe humans contribute to climate change in some way 86 report that taking all things together, they are happy (either very or rather) 72 believe that given the difficult economic issues in Australia today, Australia needs to focus less on the world and more at home 65 agree that in 2019 they will spend at least one full week away from home on holiday 67 say Australia needs a strong leader to take it back from the rich and powerful 71 believe in the past year, the world has become more dangerous 81 were optimistic 2019 would be a better year than 2018 58 agree that social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are making debates about social issues much more divisive than they used to be 64 believe increasing renewable capacity should be a “high or essential priority” in Australia’s energy policy 57 believe there is “a fair to great extent” of fake news in newspapers and magazines 80 believe Australia has a responsibility to be a moral leader in the world and to set an example for other countries to follow 62 believe social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, are giving a voice to people who wouldn’t normally take part in debates and social issues 51 believe things in their country are heading in the wrong direction 78 are concerned about the effects of plastic on the environment 65 agree temporarily cutting off social media platforms is acceptable at times of crisis, to stop the spread of false information 61 agree achieving gender equality is important to them personally 46 think immigration has had a positive impact on their country 37 agree most of the world’s countries are doing what is appropriate and reasonable to fight climate change 46 think their personal data will be leaked on the internet this year 29 are looking forward to old age 38 think Australian society is facing more danger because of divisions between people with different political views than it was 20 years ago 27 believe automation is putting their jobs at risk 24 are dissatisfied with their standard of living 8 believe time spent on social media is one of their greatest sources of happiness 12 say a woman’s looks are a key factor in helping them get ahead (five per cent for men) 45 would support legalising the growth and possession of marijuana for personal use 37 believe a country’s human rights record should be most important to leaders, when deciding on whether to have relations with other countries 40 believe there are differences in people’s political views, but it’s healthy for society 39 would eat a plant-based substitute for meat 22 are consistently late in making payments for the majority of their financial commitments 15 would feel comfortable sharing their political opinions with others, even if they don’t necessarily agree 4 believe there is no such thing as climate change
“Looking at ‘our 100’ through such a lens is not only fun, but informative. Our list of statistics may seem random, but on closer look, it is insightful in understanding the key concerns and interests of Australians,” writes Ipsos public affairs senior research manager Lucy Hedt.
“Overall, these statistics paint a relatively positive outlook (from our miniature version of Australia), begging the question: how do we maintain this positivity?”

Wally, it is based on a survey of millions of Australians, then condensed to show what a small town of 100 people would look like. So really it is just a percentage.
86 people believe humans contribute to climate change in some way.
4 believe there is no such thing as climate change.
The other 10 who make up the 100 must not have any opinion. Obviously the majority of people believe in climate change, come down here at the moment. nothing under 40C and climbing to 45C on Sunday. Hell will be comfortable.

Only 4 out of 100 believe there is no such thing as climate change. If 86 believe it, it makes sense that at least the rest of the hundred might not believe it. That's how I read it anyway. Only 4 in their town believe there is no such thing as climate change is how I read it.
