By the word &#8216;work&#8217; many people mean &#8216;getting our kids to behave&#8217;.  Its very easy for us to fall into that perception of our kids, its what mainstream parenting tells us we must do.  However, thats not the goal <a href='http://consciousmama.com/does-positive-parenting-work/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
