My Aunt Florence gave me this article this morning that reads:
True wisdom is the ability to learn form other people's experience. Therefore, child psychologist Dr. Charles Schaefer asked this question of 50 parents who had successfully reared children, "Based upon your personal experiences, what is the best advice you could give new parents about raising children?"
The most frequent parental responses were:
1. Love abundantly
2. Discipline constructively
3. Be clear, consistent and authoritative
4. Punish in private
5. Be flexible, reasonable and understanding
6. Discourage continued dependency
7. Spend time together
8. Develop mutual respect
9. Really listen
10. Tend to personal and marital needs
WOW!! Can we all help each other in doing this with our children?
