I think most people would agree with this. I think to raise wonderful adults, you have to love them and treat them kindly while respectfully setting boundaires and limits and enforcing them. I believe that GD encourages focus on the relationship you have with your children, but also encourages the setting of firm boundaries and consistently enforcing them. It's not an either/or situation.
