I am very happy to see the generation coming up is adopting this philosophy. I believe the results are going to be very fruitful. And I will have plenty of support once the grandchildren come along.
When our children were young, we were the outcasts for homeschooling. It is now being taken to the next level. There really is a big awakening happening and in all areas of life. With all the crazy out there, this is still a wonderful time to be alive!
I know! I am extremely excited to see what the future holds. Peaceful parenting isn't viewed with nearly the same derision as even I held it in. Despite the vociferous disapproval of the violent authoritarians who simply won't change, parents left and right (at least in my experience) have been reconsidering what it means to discipline kids without using force. Part of it I think stems from the idea that parents are supposed to be in control, and no spanking advocate I've ever spoken to will advocate spanking from a position of uncontrollable anger. The other part is people are genuinely starting to realize that kids without the ability to reason also lack the ability to understand why they're being spanked.
What a time to be alive, like you said! :D
