My particularly parenting practices are irrelevant, but somewhere on the spectrum between TCS and TAS depending on which particular bit of parentry is being microscoped. Like all things, education, bf, discipline, there are many 'right' ways to do it to suit the family concerend, giving a balance to parent and child. thus said, there are also many 'wrong' [and i use the word with a grimace] ways to do it too, where the balance is way off kilter one way or the other. the problem is, the point at which it feels balanced for one family, is almost certainly diferent from the next, and it is where we are on the scale that decides how we react to other parenting techniques, rather than how that scale seems to be working for them. I didn't watch the programme, but I'm guessing that Liz was hoping for a bit of live and let live for her parenting style - just because you see mine at the worst on occasions doesn't mean that we are not mostly fine - which must be the same for most of us? Bringing up children is just a social experiment nightmare - and I'm not about to follow any guidelines either! so, carry on Susan, and respond back those that disagree - after all Jax's blog - i think - is all about opening up points for discussion and seeing where it leads I think Susan’s is a valid alternative point to the series - and don’t you troll me Tim!
