Ooh, I'm not sure that's fair. I don't think I'd want MY bad behavior on tape so that my parents could justify they way they parented me. I feel like that's cutting a little too close to the privacy line. These children behave this way for a reason. Although sometimes it is completely voluntary, sometimes it's not (I have a 17 year old that still does things because of the trauma in his past). I don't think putting the behaviors out there for the whole world to see merely to "justify" your parenting technique is a good idea.
Baymom...I've been in your shoes. I've read books, talked to counselors, etc. Until you finally just tell the people, "this is MY child and I will parent her MY way" you're going to have heartache. Your family/friends aren't always going to like it, but it will finally sink in that their unwanted pieces of advice are falling on deaf ears.
