Thanks Judah, this is just what i needed to read, think i’ve been over-reacting to my 14 year old step daughters behavior recently, getting snappy and frustrated.. will be trying to motivate myself to have more positive response from now on.. many thanks for your post.

For some people this comes very naturally. For instance my sister seems to do this without a second thought. I on the other hand can be very reactionary and even though I see it doesn’t work can carry on along the same path. It was a great read and I hope I’ll take it on board next time I am faced with a situation again (I am not a parent only an uncle)

Lots of insight here. I never thought of the results of spanking as you’ve described it. Shutting down their ability to feel and their intuition… just that alone makes this well worth the read. Thank you.

A beautiful piece! Taking work home for once seems like a good thing. Thanks for these tips, very helpful.

Awesome reflections Jude. Nice to have a glimpse into how you and Cheryl parent, and into the everyday applications of RJ or peacebuilding in general. Hopefully we all “take our work home” with us! :)
