Re: Permissiveness or GBD?
It helps me to understanding punitive/permissive in terms of feelings --
-Punitive parenting makes a child feel bad in order to learn
-Permissive parenting does anything, even withholding discipline, to avoid a child's bad feelings, asking the child for "permission" to parent them
-GBD teaches the child, at an age-appropriate level, to meet the standard. Feelings can be respected and reflected, but are not used as a tool for manipulation or fear (by either the parent or the child).
