I feel so happy each time i see another person, reading and trying to look for alternative ways of raising children. Everything you said based on the work of this authors is super important. In all of the time i have being studying about parenting: Attachment and democratic parenting styles, i have come to a conclusion which is true for most parents (not all of them): They love their children more than anything but most of them lack the right tools to discipline them in a way that doesn't violate their human rights, but given the right information and some other tools, most parents are willing to change their ways. Most parents after learning this new ways, find also the effectiveness and benefits for their families that comes with treating your children with respect according to their necessities and developmental stage.

What Reading "For Your Own Good" Taught me About Violent Parenting (Part 1)
Great comment @lifestylebyjeli . Especially the last part, and that is what makes me wish I had better knowledge back when my child was younger. Even though I had only spanked a few times, it crushes my heart to know I caused pain, regardless of how few times I resorted to it. I was a single parent, and no parent friends, so I did not have the resources. If I had to do it all over again, I would not spank, no matter what I may have been through for correcting children's behavior. To me, a few spankings don't add up to abuse, but potential is there to turn to it.

@pixiehunter it is hard to be a single parent, you had to think and weigh the potential consequences of every action by yourself, but you did and still do everything you can with the resources available for you. I am so happy that you decided to share your story and I am grateful because I know how hard maybe is for you to tell us that you have spanked your child who is the person you love the most! Now you have more resources and what's most important the will of growing better everyday.
