All I'm going to say is I wish I'd gotten the advice you received. Unfortunately, I think the advice I was given was a little more Pearl-esque, which left me feeling I was doing everything wrong. By the time #2 reached the age of 3, I realized understanding my own child led me to KNOW what discipline was appropriate. Sometimes I feel like I'm still paying for the mistake of not following my instincts and tendencies. There is a place for "softness" in parenting. I literally want to cry at the recollection of the unused mercy. The boys are now 10, 8 and 7 and growing to fast...I wish I had been as brave as you when I began this parenting journey and not so fearful of the many watching eyes.
