From my Dad...a lifelong rancher. A young child is just like a young horse. Born knowing how to run...Ya gotta teach them how to walk. Never forgot it. Patience patience patience. If you alow anger to take over....you've lost.
To "Trust your Instincts".
Do what you feel is right in your heart and gut.
(Not to be the least bit worried or give thought to what every other parent does...just do what You think is best for you and you child(ren).
And as was already mentioned...Don't sweat the small stuff!
To Stick to what matters! Love Safety Consistency Morals and Values Education Respect Work Ethic Fun!
Time flies by, enjoy every moment!
(Adding:
Something that really helps me keep things in perspective, is that I remind myself,
that I am not just raising a child, but someone's future husband and father.
A dedicated and contributive citizen and employee/employer.
A future leader.
If I do not set good example myself,
if I am not strong and give him good guidelines to follow and stick to them,
if I do not follow through with what I expect from him myself...
then he is less likely to be the positive, strong man he can grow into.)
