I don't have any kids yet, but sometimes the way parents talk to their small children reminds me of how I train my dog. I thought it would be interesting to discuss whether people who trained their dogs beyond the basic sit, down, come-if-you-feel-like-it, were able to apply some of that training knowledge to raise better behaved children? I'm not saying people's children can or should be trained like dogs, but I do think some of the same principles of reward based conditioning might be useful for future little ones
