We’ve stopped punishing our kids with time-outs or spankings. We’ve stopped punishing them completely. Instead, we meet their needs, as Dr. Haiman lays out. I know parents that have kids, and the only reason, it seems, they had them was to decorate their life. When their children get “nasty”, they get nastier. It’s a disgusting display of parental tyranny, in my opinion. Ditch the poor parenting, and choose love.
