Emphasis mine. <br /><br />And so she defines it. Were I to believe in "one best" descriptive of parenting this well-written confession/purge/bound-to-pay-well-book might bother me. <br /><br />Were I to believe it possible to guide others into the one best parenting mode, I might be tempted by this book - with emphasis shifted to "successful". The outcome is subjective. The population is varied, diverse, heterogeneous. But many like to talk about these things, and so they have. <br /><br />Applauding your GW 'style' based solely on knowledge of your religious beliefs - and that you have family meals. Either alone have been shown to make a difference in the 'success' of a child's life. <br /><br />Each to his own. Natural consequences.

And I am guessing her definition of success is probably different from mine.Mitzi and Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07718842006043151761noreply@blogger.com
