You likely read the headline of this newsletter and bristled at the insinuation that you might be a [hostile parent](. No one wants to be described as “hostile”, especially when it comes to their parenting style.

Consider this: A recent study found that kids subject to harsh discipline and other forms of hostility at age 3 were 1.5 times more likely to have high-risk mental health symptoms by the time they turned 9. And many of the signs of hostile parenting are much more subtle than you may think.
