I think this is a good thing. My parents were all about punishing and often times I was punished unfairly. They refused to hear me out. Sometimes, when I did try to explain my side of things I would have a hard time properly explaining then, they would take it the wrong way and call me a liar. Often times, when I was being punished I never understood why. I would ask for explanations and would never get them.
I don't agree with that type of parenting. It didn't leave me having a strong bond towards my family, instead it made me hate them. If I had a kid, which I never plan to do, I would use your approach. I would calmly talk it out with them. I wouldn't scream or call them things.
Is it normal I don't punish my kids?
