I love everyone of these lessons! More parents should try and think this way.

You know, back in the day, parents could claim that “kids don’t come with instructions”, but today with the resources that are available at our fingertips, I think as parents we need to take raising tiny humans more seriously (and get educated on the topic).

The lessons I listed are my personal aspirations, based on what I’ve learned about human brains and overall success in life.

These are great lessons.

My generation (Boomers) made the mistake of cosseting our kids as we wanted them to have better childhood than we did as the kids of post-war parents.

And that makes perfect sense, Wendy!

Our brains do the best they can based on the programming we receive throughout our life time, and given our circumstances.
