I can't remember if I replied to this. It's been a while since it's popped up.

I've never had to resort to violence because of my daughters actions. At 22, she's an extremely well adjusted young adult with a bright future and a healthy outlook on life. She's smart, kind, and has compassion for the world and everything in it.

When she was a little girl doing the things little girls do, sometimes she'd test her boundaries, and I'd kneel down to her level, look her in her eyes and tell her very calmly why her actions were harmful, or what ever the case was. She'd usually just shrug, say "Ok Dad", and scamper off on her happy way. Before anything else, I taught her love, compassion, and understanding. The world needs more of it, and children will mirror your actions by a tenfold, so start there.
