That is a good article. I'm sure someone wants numbers and links to
twenty-year studies, but I have to say it was good. As a parent myself,
with a second on the way; having observed how other parents do their job and
recollecting what my parents did with me, I have to say that this article is
a step in the right direction.
If any of my children recieve crayons or markers, they will be told what
*not* to do with them. If i find writing on the walls, someone is going to
get a warm bottom, if I can't figure out who did it, they both get the warm
bottom.
No video games except with me at the arcade.
Limited t.v.
Lots of time doing *projects* (here is where the wife comes in handy)
just enough toys to provide constructive alone time (where the imagination
can be excersized)
Lots of chores
Lots of hugs, kisses, and positive reinforcement ("lovins")
