[quote=Anonymous]It’s impossible, really, to have a conversation about this when people just go changing the definitions of words. Neglect, as another poster said, does imply harm. Look at the dictionary. And I have never heard it used in a way that doesn’t imply harm in common parlance. So sure if you want to redefine neglect in a way that doesn’t imply harm then okay? But that’s sort of like saying “clean dirtiness” and saying it’s really a thing because “dirtiness” doesn’t imply a state of being dirty. We already have lots of terms for parenting and I don’t think we need new ones, particularly ones that don’t really mean anything. Authoritarian, laissez-faire, helicopter, free range, tiger, hands-off, gentle, authoritative, permissive, etc. [/quote]
