Reply To: Going off the Derech

Syag Lchochma-I agree that if the parents don’t give their child the right reaction, it could have an adverse affect on the child. But I think that even the incident itself can be damaging enough sometimes, regardless of the parent’s reaction. This man embarrassed my son in front of all the kids at the park. Even if I give my son an empathetic, supportive reaction, I can’t undo the embarrassment he felt.
