Great Article thanks:) Generally it seems we are in the dark ages when it comes to parenting. The norm is so damaging. I find it interesting- If we physically strike an adult we would be seem as abusive but if we 'spank' as child it is somehow ok. PARENTING IS NOT EASY and the more we can become aware of our OWN emotional triggers, and tend to ourselves the better we can empathise with children and not create damage x
