fairfarmhand Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 There is more than one way to raise a happy, healthy, productive child to be a good adult. AP, Ezzo, Traditionalist....whatever. They can all work when balanced by COMMON SENSE, kindness and love. Moreover, some parents may used different methods on different kids in the SAME FAMILY depending on the needs of the kids. this is very controversial. I hope I don't get banned. :) (I've been reading various blogs on parenting today for a set of articles I'm writing. Some of the comments are :001_huh::lol: and:glare:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise in Florida Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Yes to this. :001_smile: And while consistency is important so is listening to your children. You can and will change, they grow and change. Love, talk, adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forty-two Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 There is more than one way to raise a happy, healthy, productive child to be a good adult. Oh, bless your heart, hon. I know you mean well, but there is only One True Way to raise kids *right*, and it is my solemn duty to share it with you. My oldest is 5, you know, and naturally my success up to this point is completely due to Doing Things Right, and will of course continue right through adulthood. I do hope you see the errors of your ways before it is Too Late and your kids are Irredeemably Ruined. ;):lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
