Parenting

Parenting is huge.  Its like the number one most stressful job in the world. There are so many different styles of parenting and there are millions of children in the world and every child is different.  I have been reading alot about the styles of parenting and the studies of Steinberg and Kohn.  A few of the principles that I love about parenting that are in these books are, that the child is the child.  Children are still children and I think that some parents struggle with that.  They want there children to remember what they want constantly and when they have a little tantrum its not okay.  However, children have tantrums! They are children.  Obviously we need to have some control and tell them that is not okay. Another thing that we need to remember is that the relationship with our children is more important than anything else in the world.  When there are battles happening and we want to stop them just remember that they are children and that we love them.
