Doan, for your amusement, bites himself in the butt..........again!

It is always my pleasure, Doan, when challenged, to respond to you and
your coterie.

In the process I invariably come across opportunities to add to the
body of knowledge archived in this particular newsgroup, a favorite of
mine...obviously.

In researching Dr. Embry and his study (aren't you glad you asked?) I
came across even more tools, with excellent commentary, for
non-punitive parenting. Dr. Embry is something of a gem, it turns out,
with many many years of continuing study into child discipline
methods.

Browsing through his organization's website is most elucidating.

I direct you and any interested readers to an excellent tool he shares
with us from other researchers and practitioners, and you'll find a
ton of statistical references that you'll come to love, as they use
this most interesting tool to study child behavior, The Good Behavior
Game:

I greatly appreciate the candor and setting aside of personal
inhibition you exhibit here with us on alt.parenting.spanking, as it
can lead, and so often does, to wonderful discoveries and progress in
our mutual quest, you and I, for better parenting.

Yours in fond respect and mutual cooperation.

Scientifically,

Kane
