Hi Tim

I completed your survey - I hope it's not too late.

I just thought I'd mention that I thought it was a bit negative. :gloomy:

If we have a really positive view about parenting but a challenging child, I wonder what outcome that would have ?

[jojojonsey]

Hi I did it too. It might be a bit off putting that it says it takes an hour. I went through and it probably took 15 minutes max.

Agree with the mrsd's points about it being somewhat negative.

I did it. I didn't have an issue with it being 'negative' becuase I could see where it was going (I think), but I did find it really hard to answer if you practice gentle parenting - a lot of the discipline questions related to situations I would never have found myself in in the first place :no:

Have just completed it.
