Apology accepted.
I have to say that being frustrated with this thread is an incredibly futile waste of time, IMO; outside of the parameters of the law, basic safety and avoiding neglect, no one can dictate to anyone else how they should parent their child.
Each kid, like each family is different; what works well for one may not work well for another.
It’s up to us as so-called ‘enlightened’ adults to resist the impulse that everyone must always conform to our way of thinking and respect that different methods can work equally well.
