Punishing When Intentions Are Good

  When one thinks of a punishment situation, it's natural to have thoughts that suggest the punishment is a direct result of an unwanted, dangerous, or detrimental action or behavior.  Chances are that the action or behavior which lead to the punishment had negative intentions behind it, or was not well planned out, or was not well thought out. 

But what if the intentions behind the action or behavior were good?

The Learning Domestic Discipline Intersection

  I've been told on more than one occasion that all the information on Learning Domestic Discipline is overwhelming and difficult to find at times.  I do my best to make the site as easy to navigate as possible with tabs, labels, an archive of posts, and links to referenced topics in each post, but even with these options some things still get lost in the shuffle.  For Learning Domestic Discipline's 100th post (yes, this is the 100th post!), I figured I'd put all the posts into one easy to navigate post of links.

  If you have this site bookmarked, you may want to reset that bookmark to this specific page.  It has virtually every post written on LDD (save the posts promoting the book and posts thanking readers and such), and will be updated each time a new post is published.  It's a 1-stop shop for all of the past, present, and future LDD entries.

TIP: Remember to read the comments on the posts you read as many questions are answered within them.

I present to you the Learning Domestic Discipline Intersection.

Your Help Needed While We're Away

  

WE'RE GOING ON VACATION!!

  Hooray!!  We definitely need one, that's for sure.  This "real life" stuff is getting exhausting.  Time to recharge our batteries and relax a little bit.  So for the next week and a half, my family and I will be away on vacation.  We're so excited!!

* All rights to the song "Knee Deep" belong to the Zac Brown Band and their label, Atlantic Records.

  Don't read into that video too much, people.  We're not going to Mexico, not all of the lyrics pertain to our situation, and we don't plan on running into a man with eight octopus tentacles.  The song just reminds me of a beach vacation, which is where we'll be going and what we'll be doing! :)

  While we're away, I'd like to ask something of you - I'd like to know if there is anything you want to see discussed on the blog, or anything you would like to see become part of Learning Domestic Discipline.  Sooooo, what would you like to see discussed or added to the website?

  This site is for you, the reader, so I want any and all content to be helpful to you in some fashion.  Please leave your answers in the comments below and we'll get to them when we return from vacation!!

Thanks in advance and we'll see you in a couple of weeks!
