I'm glad to be following you for this article, @krnel. I had forgotten why I was following you in the first place. I guess this article is a sort of reassurance.

As your kid or kids get older (depending on who reads this), you might like this website (doesn't depend on who reads this):

Lives in the Balance

I offer this because the founder, Dr. Ross W. Greene has really drilled down to find the root cause of challenging behavior in kids and offers a variety of tools to help kids work through their growing pains - without violent, threats or punishment and reward.

So I'm actually gratified to see more people like you talking about non-violent parenting, and considering the audience here at Steemit, that might not be so surprising.

Write on.
