My Parenting Strategies- Where do they come from?

Frogness

My parenting strategies are an eclectic mix of elements  that I have learned.   I feel  that I am an old soul and knew  many things from previous incarnations.   I was always coming up with "wise" ways of looking at the world and as a result, usually ahead of my time.

My husband and I raised two daughters with a lot of help from family,  friends and books. We now have a grandson and at 15 months, he is already quite different from our daughters. He is moving non stop. The other day in nursery, he began to run before he could walk steadily.  He makes sure that he waves to the staff before he leaves everyday. He is awesome.

Dad's- Where are they?

Interesting article in the May/June issue of the Scientific American Mind titled Where's Dad by Paul Raeburn.  For many years, it has been the chronic habit to blame Mom's for all of  our children's difficult behaviors. Guess what, there is new research that states that an engaged Dad whether, living at home or not, is a critical factor to their daughter's mental health.
