RE: In Defense of "Permissive" Parenting; Children are Human Too

in #psychology8 years ago

If you had be practicing what I like to call peaceful parenting, your child should already have enough respect for you to listen to your guidance without you having to restrain them.

No. Peaceful parenting certainly doesn't guarantee obedience. That's just not how it works.

temporarily restraining someone who may not be aware of impending danger is not being authoritarian

Please pay closer attention to the conversation you're stepping into. I haven't made that claim.
