Why antisocial "help" is abuse

 Many people think help is an inherently good thing, and that children should "be grateful" for help. Many conservative Christian parents can be pushy, from what I have seen, meaning children in such homes must accept help from parents and other adults, with it being assumed that "parents know best" which ultimately translates to "parents know better than you". I don't see children as help objects.

Antisocial "help" is a form of entitlement leading to theft. It says in the Tenth Commandment, in Exodus 20:17 KJV:

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor.

The Greek root word translated "covet" is לחמוד (Latin: lachmod) and refers not merely wanting things from children, but wanting things to the point of seeking to impose said want on a child, leading to theft/abuse. This can include wanting to help a child - or get recognition of such - to the point of seeking to help the child without their informed consent. The Greek root word repeating this commandment is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to the attitude of "I want to help you, and I know more about you than you do about yourself" leading to pushy, demanding, controlling, and/or effusive behavior, or else sexually entitled behavior motivated by the desire to "be helpful".

Antisocial "help" is the official children's rights name of the count that denotes the harm from "help" entitlement leading to theft, with the theft denoting the abuse. It says in Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they become discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and is one of the Greek words in the New Testament to denote legal damages, namely the slightest of personal slights perceived by a child, coming from entitled intent. This means if any help feels overwhelming or unwelcome to a child, they have the right to reject it, and beyond that point, any "help" towards a child is without their consent.

Pro-social help does exist as a concept in parenting, such as with behavior that causes risk of serious bodily injury and/or death, or else intervenes in cases of clear physical, chemical, or pornographic self-harm. This can mean grabbing your 3-year-old from the electrical socket, locking up the liquor in the cabinet (if you even have it in the house - I don't have that firewater in the house), or putting porn blocker on your teenage son's computer. Pro-social help should always be a logical consequence, meaning never a punishment. Punishment, in the biblical context, was illegal to impose on a child, as that culture was an attachment parenting society. Punishment was only allowed against adults, and only in a judicial setting. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Let them rot in eternal Hell-fire! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Any comment that
1. Endorses child abuse (including pornography of such)
2. Imposes want to the point of imposition, meaning entitlement.
3. Contains self-entitled parent rhetoric, to the point of self-victimization

The word "no": Why children need to hear the word "no" seldom (meaning almost never)

Many parents think that children need to hear the word "no" frequent and often. This is a common attitude on the part of American ...
