Alexk44's definitions
When a child encounters an explicit or adult topic or phrase they don't understand, and they ask an adult about it, or regurgitate it in some fashion. In stead of calmly explaining to the child the adult nature of the topic or phrase, the adult "blows up" and punishes the child for being inappropriate, often not explaining why it's inappropriate.
Landmine Learning example:
Child- "Mommy, what's a dildo?"
Adult- "What?? Where did you hear that!?"
Child- "From a kid at school..."
Adult- "I don't ever want to hear you say that again. Go to your room!!!"
Child- "Mommy, what's a dildo?"
Adult- "What?? Where did you hear that!?"
Child- "From a kid at school..."
Adult- "I don't ever want to hear you say that again. Go to your room!!!"
