It is a really big shift, but im mostly quite pleased. Ive always said good parenting is much harder. Children whipped into obedience may be "better behaved" at 3 or even 8, but i guarantee they pay the piper in the teenage years and probably well into adulthood. Loving, attaching, guiding, and trusting are so much harder and take so much more time and effort. Starting with play is a great place to start. Be gentle with yourself.
Thanks also for the comment upvote! I always wondered how that worked when the post had paid out already. Good to know!
