Apparently we have different philosophies on parenting; IMHO, there is a difference between photographing, say, a child who manages to get his pants caught on a kitchen cabinet's handle as evidence of an amusing childhood mishap:

And photographing a child who steps on a dog to reach the sink.

Most kids, caught in the position above, have learned the lesson "I shouldn't have attempted to climb up /hang upside down/do a handstand/climb down *that* way" by the nature of the experience.

A child who steps on a dog and sees mom or dad laughing about it and taking multiple pictures? Learns an entirely different lesson. "Mom thinks this is cute/funny. It's okay if I do this again.

Thanks for making the point of mine you cleverly ducked 3 hours ago. You have a different philosophy. Perhaps you should invite some of us over to reeducate you as to how you are doing it wrong. Because clearly, you are. Because we say so.

Or would that be none of our business and you get to be a special little snowflake that can decide for others what is right and wrong parenting?
