I am a first time mum, dd is 9 months and i tend to read alot of books on parnting and babies etc. The other day MIL told dd off for biting her and said 'naughty girl'. I just cringed because i absolutly hate the word and just wondered if anyone else shares the same view. Do you think 'positive disipline' as i think it is called works? I read that ignoring bad behavior and consentrating on the good really works, does anyone go by this?? Sorry to ramble!!!
