Ben went from the hurting thread to a particularly beautiful discussion
of parenting...asking questions, not using sitting in the corner.
Thank you! Although my boys aren't up yet, I can hardly wait to add
this technique to my repetoire. I've never thought that punishment for
doing bad things helped, and always tried to talk things out...but, I
guess it was me doing more of the talking...and not asking.
And yes, I think the application of this fundamental paradigm could have
wonderful effects in a broader scale...in Learning Orgs wherever they
are!
