Welcome and
that you are seeing some successes!
Remember too that there will be some ingrained mindsets that you need to prayerfully work your way out of, such as viewing children as animals that are to obey on the first command otherwise are to be struck -- I know that MP often compares children to dogs and mules
and doesn't truly see them as the wonderful creatures full of curiosity that our Lord has made them to be. You have received wonderful advice on this board, and I encourage you to stick with GBD -- you will have days where it doesn't seem to work, but do focus on the bigger picture and see the long-term positive effects of it!
Burn the Pearl materials so there will be no possibility of going back to them.
