Article title: Positive discipline
Article Evaluation: This article is great at talking about talking about the history of positive discipline but there seems to be overwhelming positive that there's no sentence that speaks negatively about positive discipline. Sure there is some research done, but there is no proper citations in some of the research papers mentioned. Also how about changing your parenting style? That is going to be a big adjust for the child to go through unless if there is consistency in positive discipline.

Article title: Free-range parenting
Article Evaluation: I think that this article does a good job talking about the legal implications of free-range parenting in the United States and Canada. In terms of sources, it seems as Skenazy's book is the main source that carries the weight of the whole article. For more topics related to psychology and free-range parenting, there could be more use in studies on the effects of it.
