Affirmation for May 18, 2011: Parenting Manuals

Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories.- John WilmotThought of the day:There are many books in the store that give you ideas about how best to raise your children, some good, some bad, some even contradicting. Add to that mix the fact that every child is different, and that every parent brings his or her own childhood experiences which influence the way parenting methods are interpreted and applied.Everyone who becomes a parent of a child for the first time, maybe even the second or the third time, is braving new territory. For every unique child, there is a unique parenting manual that is written on the fly.Have a sane day, parents!TeamDS
