I know many parents that don't smack and in nz we have a no smacking law- meant to help stop child abuse but as usual its just hurting regular parents and the abusers still abuse.
I think it would be helpful for a lot of parents to see more gentle parenting information readily available.
After all ever child is unique and needs parenting differently to another so knowledge is positive power.
The village here is a great place and I dont think you are a minority
I have heard what you said and glad of discussions, personally.
