BE A PARENT AND NOT A DICTATOR…

Quote From: kivarocks

    HEALTHY LIES IN THE MIDDLE..No one is telling people it's ok to be parents to be passive,negligent and uncaring.What people are saying including the GOOD DOCTOR is overindulgince is unhealhty and negligence is unhealthy.  pick parenting that is something in the middle.Your child is not supposes to be an extension of your ego.

We all need to understand that being the best parent is not mapping your children’s future to the point that you do not allow them to make any of the decisions.  In addition, we have to fall in order to learn how to get up.  If parents are doing all of the above; how will one learn?  We do not learn by dictation.  We learn by participation!  Parents cannot live their lives through their children.  However, children do need support, guidance, and most of all love and understanding.
