Love Elf on the Shelf? Well, It May Actually Be Pretty Bad for Your Kids
Child Psychologist, Dr. Lapointe, thinks that Elf on the Shelf is not a good thing.
She believes there is fallout both emotionally and neurologically. Two reasons she does not like Elf on the Shelf-child senses parent has no control and the child feels played by the adult. She says the “played” feeling is especially problematic. She said it creates a disconnect between adult and child. She suggests using the Elf to be more of a friend to the child than a tattletale on the child.
