Okay, so, I’m a new parent, and I’m honestly overwhelmed. Everyone has an opinion on discipline, and it feels like I’m getting conflicting advice constantly. I want to raise my child (currently 2 years old) to be respectful and well-behaved, but I also don’t want to traumatize them or damage our relationship. I’m really struggling…
