I don't think any of it is a bad idea, although it seems geared more towards toddlers and preschoolers, as a lot of these lists are. I agree with creating a strong attachment at such a young age to help head off behaviours and distract from them, and hopefully it leads to a better relationship with the child whereby they're less likely to misbehave as they get older. But then as they get older sometimes they do act just to push boundaries, to get a reaction, or to individuate away from the parents, and they need logical consequences. It makes sense to ask why there's a pattern of bad behaviour - are they being picked on at school, are they stressed from too many activities, are they feeling bad about mom going back to work and need more time with her? But sometimes they're just not doing it for any grand reason beyond they're 9 and seeing if they can talk back or roll their eyes or not do their chores.

Sometimes things like this imply that if we had a good relationship with our kids they wouldn't misbehave, but that doesn't take into account that kids are individuals and sometimes we're doing the best we can.
