<<Tough love is for people who are losers at raising children.

Looking at her daughter and what she's accomplished to date, the Yale prof doesn't look like a loser.>>

One does not measure the success of raising a child based on accomplishments. They meassure it based on how happy and wise a child grows to become.

Children are to be raised very gently and lovingly. Anyone who doesn't know that is a barbarian, IMO.

Education, or behavior or happiness, is not enhanced by tough love. That is another one of those cruel primitive myths left over from days past. I have met the tough love crowd and they are just a bunch of losers who should not be raising children at all.

I was a teacher for several years. They used to put me in unruly class rooms because I could handle them without violence.

Using violence to control children, is just the failure of the parent. And very bad for the child.
