Don’t Let “Psychological Correctness” Undermine “Moral Correctness”

Setting firm limits and holding children accountable for their actions is not ‘mean’ at all. It is love in action. It is love that is hard for children to comprehend. Nonetheless, it is love that will endure long beyond our lifetimes in the character of the next generation we leave behind on this earth.”
