Well, as I clarified, the "child experts" can't "fix" her either. She's a kid, not a toy, computer game, or hairdo.
Parenting isn't a game with scorecards, and looking down upon others doesn't mean one is right. It means one has a personal opinion. My personal opinion is that parents who are loving, consistent, and willing to be creative in their methods of teaching/disciplining their children are good parents.
