Thank you for the resources I'll be sure to put them to good use. @algernon I agree with your point. My empathy was misplaced, it should've been with the child. Now I stand corrected, thank you

Taking refuge from a nightly breeze in cozy indoors and with a mind occupied by an over-skype DnD session, I've come into contact with a very pleasant person. A woman of Asian origin that's planning on becoming a mother with her soon to be husband. We've had a lovely talk about parenting in general and whilst I can't do the topic justice with my limited perspective I'd still love to introduce her into the peaceful route. She's been receptive to the few arguments that I've made during our talk such as that punishment (and here I mean negative consequences with neither understanding nor agreement on the recipient's end) teaches children to avoid this negative stimuli, rather than the parent's claimed value. It's also important to mention that she was able to make important connections herself and admitted to being keen on reading up on the subject of parenting in detail at a later date. This is why I'd love to present her with a more knowledgeable perspective than mine. How do I introduce her to the subject whilst remaining courteous? I certainly don't want to flood her with such content as The Bomb in the Brain or moral arguments against circumcision as they're very heavy and emotionally draining. That could hardly be called empathetic! What would you recommend then? Books, podcasts, websites. Anything, I would only be skeptical of things too concise. Also, should I introduce her to FDR? If so, should the two coincide? Thank you kindly for reading this far. All the best
