FROM HER BIO:

"Through extensive research and personal experience, Rebecca Woulfe has discovered the importance of raising children punishment-free. She has over 30 years of parenting experience having raised four daughters without using punishment to discipline. She has shared her expertise through parenting workshops and published a 'how to' book on the topic. In her book, The Gift of a Punishment-Free Childhood: A New Way to Parent for a New World, Rebecca provides evidence of how punishment not only negatively affects the parent-child relationship, but how it also has far-reaching negative consequences for our children, ourselves, and our society. 

Additionally, her book provides parents with specific examples of how to discipline children and teach them to be good humans without resorting to punishment to control their behavior. She uses humor and a non-judgmental approach to support parents, grandparents, and anyone who engages with children on how to positively interact with children and teenagers. Rebecca empowers readers to trust their instincts, address each child's unique needs, and uncover solutions that work for each family. She provides practical guidance for each stage of development so whether you are parenting a toddler, tween, or teenager, you can apply Rebecca's techniques. 

Rebecca brings an engaging and lively approach to conversations about parenting, relationships, and changing the punishment paradigm to make our world a better place. She does not shy away from controversy, recognizing there are those who think punishment is critical in raising children, and is enthusiastic about engaging in this debate."
