Just a reminder that Tim Kimmel teaches "Grace-Based Parenting" which is not the same as "Grace-Based Discipline" and he does not offer the same tools. He's okay - and a great transition for people who are used to adversarial parenting, but iirc he doesn't speak out very strongly against spanking and still holds they have a place.

I think that might have been more true of his older stuff, AOL. I taught the grace based parenting class (all of his materials, actually) at church for a few years and there was no mention of punitive discipline, including spanking. :heart

That's great to hear! I know he read a copy of my book after his came out and I've prayed that he would move more into the positive :heart
