<<< Tough love is about letting people own all the responsibility for their own behavior and choices. When their bad decisions hurt enough, they solve their own problems>>>

It is obvious that you and I look at thing completely differently.

What you say about tough love is pretty consistent with what you have been saying all along.

For me, I look for the holy grail in another way. Modern psychologists for the most part say that positive reinforement is more effective than negative reinforcement. I have no way of knowing if they are right or not, but that is what I choose to believe.
