You're right, there is really no manual to parenting. We were corrected with sticks and slaps but that seemed like the best method only, for us to realize their are better approaches. Your daughter has told you the truth and I have learned a great deal from your post that, 'children are often not to blame but parents' And such is wise for parents that caution themselves before reacting.
Thank you for the good script
I'm glad you learnt something new from my post. We all need to try the best we can to make more awareness about intentional parenting.
