RISE UP! PART 1 : MAKING PEACE WITH OUR SHAME"You could have done better!""You are so messy.""Why is your face like that?"It is common in our Asian culture to 'educate' children by shaming, which often comes in a form of criticism and punishment. Adults tend to subconsiously shame young people by belittling their feelings and actions , or by making them feel that they are not good enough. Although most of the time we adults intend to send these messages out of love for our young, shaming interactions as such will further cultivate fear, insecurity, emotional suppression, and lack self-esteem in them. The toxicity of social media consumption does not make it any easier. So what is the first step to help our children and teens make peace with shame?
