Too often, good parenting
is confused with good feelings.

No parent feels good about
putting their foot down

but a downed foot teaches better
than a mouth always curving up.

About this Bitlet

Positive reinforcement is the best way to teach anyone anything. But it's like wine, positive reinforcement takes time to earn and is not instantaneous.

Bitlets are about quantity, not quality. Free-write at least one a day about what is on your mind, going on around you, or the state of your life. Ignore the urge to edit; it's not about being profound on purpose, it's about stumbling on it by accident.

Most effective bit of parenting I ever experienced was when my granddad loosened my teeth after I backchatted my nan. I never did it again.
