Are there any other books you’d recommend along the same line as this one? I read ‘The Birth Order Book’ by Kevin Leman in college and it was fascinating! Highly recommended it (and all his books). My son is a very (VERY) strong-willed child, coupled with him being an only child, and it is sometimes a hard battle in our house. I am happy he is independent and smart because it will definitely help him in the long run, but he also needs remember that he’s only 10, he still has a lot to learn, and he needs to have respect for others.

One thing take away points I have would be the reminder that many of our “must do this way or that” are no must haves. If it’s not going to do bodily damage then we can take the time to evaluate our choices. All of those countries will provide the rules for acceptance in their culture. That takes pressure off the “getting it right” mindset of parenting.
My daughter is 28 now so I’m past many of these decisions but it gives me the results of many of my choices. According to my daughter, one of the best things I did was try to teach her how to fail. As parents we want to protect them from any pain . That’s not our job. Our job is to teach them how to deal with pain while still living in a safe, supportive family.
Thank you for sharing your parenting journey. I would have loved having this support when I was a young mom.
