Tom Cruise is a Yes Man

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are being criticized for parenting according to L. Ron Hubbard’s Scientology teachings. Although Suri was breast fed, so she got all those good antibodies to fight infections, some are criticizing Suri also being fed a mixture of barley water, milk and corn syrup which Hubbard encouraged. That mixture has whey protein from milk, milk sugar, and other sugars kids need. Us says:

“It’s all about being positive and supportive,” says the couple’s friend (Hubbard advised parents to “try to be the child’s friend.”) As for discipline, one former church member tells Us that Scientologists do not scold their children, but instead explain that bad behavior (like throwing a toy) is the “wrong action.” (A Scientology rep tells Us, “How a parent disciplines their child is left up to the parent.”)

Cruise and Holmes, says their pal, are very lenient and do not like to give Suri too many rules: “Suri pretty much does whatever she wants, whenever she wants. If she fusses before bed, they let her stay up later. If they want her to go swimming and she cries, they’ll take her out. If she whines about food, they’ll ask her what else she wants to eat. They always want to please her.”

What’s wrong with NOT spanking Suri? This is good parenting. Suri is being raised in a positive environment where she is guided rather with reasoning, and discussion, rather than yelling, spanking, or other negative stimuli. Tom and Katie are parenting the right way to raise a well adjusted, happy, intelligent, kind child. Normally I would find some humor in this, but this is serious business. I’m not sure if Scientology has anything to do with Tom sucking his thumb and calling Katie mommy, so I’ll talk about that later.
