Anyway, IMO there's no such thing as *perfect* discipline that always
gets children to do exactly what we want them to do! So just you hang
on to what *you* believe is the best discipline for your child and
don't let worry over other people's attitudes derail you.

Thanks. I need to keep reminding myself that. In fact, one of the things I
detested most as a kid was my mom would discipline us whenever visitors
commented on something we were doing. Usually, we were allowed to do it,
like bike to a store a distance away. They expressed disapproval and
suddenly, we were in trouble for riding our bike out of bounds! There were
no bounds until the visitors made a comment. I vowed never to do that. I
haven't yet. I just have to keep reminding myself.
