CM Conference Notes: Behaviorism vs Relational Parenting

Jack Beckman led this book study, based on Unconditional Parenting: Moving From Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason by Alfie Kohn. Now that I've realized that the theme of the conference was "Moving from Rewards to Relationships," I understand how this book fits in with the conference, but I want to finish the book (I only got through chapter five; time ran out) and look up some Charlotte Mason quotes to see if I can draw any conclusions, as this might mean that CM has more to say about parenting methods than I thought - I assumed that she didn't really say much about discipline beyond habit-training and establishing parental authority, but I want to think about that before I post anything.

Not much of a post, I know. I was going to post my notes from Jason Fletcher's talk about Relational Religion, but Tim's notes are thorough enough that I asked him to post his instead.
