Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a good deal of my time looking for someone to explain this subject clearly and you’re the only one that ever did that. Kudos to you!

I'm very used to being around teens, as a teacher who teaches grades 7-12, but it's really useful to be getting some information on how parents actually should raise their kids. I'm in the process of figuring out how my daughter-to-be will be raised, and this website has really helped a lot. I’m not a parent yet (but I will be sometime in mid-February).

Let kids be kids, play in creeks, dig in dirt, explore, and enjoy life. When I was teaching and watching kids at recess, many distraught children would exclaim, "My Mom's gonna be mad. I got my new shoes dirty." I couldn't understand the logic. Feet are in shoes, and shoes are on the ground. The ground is made up of dirt, and kids are not to get their shoes dirty. Go figure.
