Yesterday I had a friend here that I haven't really seen or been close to in years. We started talking about parenting styles. She does co-sleep and EBF, but other than that I didn't know much about their style.
She flat out asked me "what do you do for discipline". I kinda didnt know what to say! I told her "grace based discipline" and she asked what that was I told her it was more positive than punitive - focused on giving the child choices and consequences for their choices.
I just couldn't think straight. How do you explain it??
A friend has since told me I should have said it was treating our children the way Christ treats us, but in the heat of the moment....well, you know. This same friend (JJsmom) said we should have a script
for when these questions come up.
Anyone? A simple way to explain it so I don't sound crazy?
