“And new Philosophy calls all in doubt,

The Sun is lost, and th’earth, and no mans wit
Can well direct him where to look for it.”

Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you use—reasoning, a “star” chart, time-outs, or spanking—if it doesn’t work, it’s not effective.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
