Mods, please move if this isn't the right place.. but I thought that since it was a specific situation/article, it belonged here rather than the Gentle Discipline forum.
I'm sure many of you have seen the HuffPo article recently circulating around social media that supposedly details why modrn-day parenting is in crisis - you know, the one written by a British nanny? When I read it, it didn't sit well with me... so I went looking for "gentle" rebuttals to share with my friends when they inevitably shared the article.
I thought maybe I would post them here so that others would haven a resource to do the same.
Please feel free to add others you are aware of, too. I know I found at least one other when I first searched, but I didn't save it :doh and now I'm not sure where it was.
