Yes, I just saw a rerun of Reba "Parenting with Puppets".
The sign is not that I agree with the puppet idea -- it is that a television show on mainstream media actually showed parenting that I understand.
Short synopsis: bratty kid breaks a lamp with a bat. Touchy-feely daughter-in-law mom gently explains that "next time" he will not get a sticker for good behavior. Reba explains her parenting style, which actually reminds me a great deal of my parents' style. Vealmoor, represent ! It involves actually disciplining the child and explaining the consequences of one's actions.
*shrug* I dunno any more. . .
Thoughts ?
