[quote=Anonymous]I'm not mad at either parenting style and I don't have strong feelings about time outs, I just find most of the tenants of "gentle parenting" work pretty well and line up with my values. I just don't think any of this parenting technique stuff is that crucial, ultimately. I'm not sure a parent who might want to be abusive is going to be "fixed" by reading Janet Lansbury. And I don't think someone trying to do Lansbury and struggling with discipline is going to find anything is "fixed" by outbursts or timeouts. The PP who's the most upset seems to be the one with the daughter with apparently severe separation anxiety such that nannies have quit and she hasn't slept properly in years. Well, guess what, I don't think there's any parenting book that can fix that. Certainly not one targeted at average kids and parents. I definitely don't think time outs would fix it. [/quote]
