Came across this book recommendation in a magazine or papers mths ago. I noted down the book title and author's name under "My Books-to-Read List".
And here I am now...finally gotten my hands on it.
Im just 9 pages into the book but Im already liking it.
The content suits my style, and idea towards pple relationship mgmt.
WHAT IS MY PARENTING PHILOSOPHY?
POint 2 from the book content: I will not treat a child in a way I myself would not want to be treated.
(further extraction from the book) Read this...
If wouldn't want to be slapped across the face, why would I slap my son? If I wouldn't want to be screamed at when I made a mistake, why would I scream at my daughter when she dropped the cake I had decoated for my mother-in-law? If I wouldn't want my gardening skills to be compared with my neighbor's, why would I compare my son's math performance wih his older sisters'?
己所不欲,勿施于人。 己所不欲,勿施于人...己所不欲,勿施于人...
I just hope even when I'm tied and worn out, I can reject the tendency to parent the way we were parented. I like this idea and I'm going to TRY IT!
