A Trainer, Writer and Language Instructor. I believe in investing in our children. They are our future. 
Children need positive inputs from adults, as these inputs will then greatly impact their future. They depend on the adults around them for 'positive leadership'.
As responsible adults, parents need to set good examples every day although they face various challenges themselves.
Some parents feel that their children need to be able to feel the disappointment because of their own wrong choices. This is so that they will self correct next time. This is actually a form of 'positive' punishment. Parents enforcing a 'positive' punishment will not try to correct their children's faults.
Children need 'positive' encouragements when they make progress in their learning process. Supportive parents know that this will help their children to be optismis.
Positive inputs does not spoil a child. It helps the child to grow well physically, mentally and spiritually.

Yes you are correct, children need positive inputs. But they also need some care and teachings to discern what is good and what is wrong.
