If you’ve been reading Heligirl for any amount of time, you know I’m a huge believer in positive discipline and doing all I can to work with my kids rather than punish them when they misbehave.

Another installment in my Positive Discipline articles. We’re hitting that lovely stage here in Jen’s World where Sweetness is all about the boundary testing.
