Default Re: what made you change?

*without reading all the posts*

I had never heard of Ap or GBD until I came here. I practiced Ap, but didn't know it had a name. It was instinctual for me. Going from a Ap babyhood, to a toddlerhood where the norm was to spank your child was tough. I never wanted to spank, and it didn't make anyone feel any better about the problem. I would be upset, the child would be even more upset....... Plus I have a stepchild who has ADHD and often I'm told all these kids need is a good spanking. But that isn't it. They cannot help their behavioral actions for the most part. They need love above all things, and tolerance. When I first came to Gentle Christian Mothering, and heard of GBD, I though, oh yeah that works for people who live perfect lives, and have perfect children.....but my life is not perfect, and my children are not perfect! They have ADHD, and OCD and behaviors, and seperation anxieties! That'll never work......and then I tried it. And right away things got easier and better for all of us. My stepson who has ADHD, responded better, even though it was discipline. My youngest dear children responeded too. We began to work through issues. The hard part is convincing dh.....still working on that.
