Dr. Laura, I appreciate what you have to say about considering the connection factor. :)Maggie Sierdsmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983334407950701929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703874534006734552.post-37494833888014510122012-03-20T17:49:25.516-07:002012-03-20T17:49:25.516-07:00I love encouraging children to do whatever they ca...I love encouraging children to do whatever they can for themselves. But often when they don't, it's because they're expressing the need for connection. Sometimes we can "talk" them through the task, meaning we stay connected while they dress themselves. But sometimes, they really need us to show we care tangibly. So while I like much of Positive Discipline, I find it lacking in understanding of emotional development.
