Once again, Nathan, you appear to be talking about win/win cooperative
nonpunitive discipline as if it were some sort of new untested concept
rather than a set of approaches to dealing with conflict in the
parent/child relationship developed decades ago and used successfully in
thousands of families.

Ah! I just love the logic. :-) Isn't this the same argument that you
don't like about spanking? Afterall, spanking has been used for thousands
of years and BILLIONS of families.

Most tribal peoples leave their kids the hell alone unless
they are in good humor, and they NEVER hit them for ANY reason!!
