[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 735451, member: 1550"] Didn't read it but probably agreed with a lot of it. I knew I wanted to do gentle loving parenting and that's what I did. I never followed others ideas. I tried to give what I had in my heart and feel it worked out well. I was t perfect but I tried very hard and was very mindful of what I did regarding them. If I made a mistake I apologized fast. I felt intristically that what my mom did...I should do the opposite and I did well as far as not yelling a lot, calling names, over punishing or physical punishment which I never even felt compelled to do. I thought it was insane not to pick up a crying baby. I couldn't bear to let them just cry and deep within I felt it was wrong to allow an I can't to cry so I didn't. And guess what? No e of my kids are spoiled so toss that idea down the drain. Without any doubt or regret my kids came first, second and third. I relied on myself and sometimes talked to my BFF who was a lot like me. All my friends were kind, child centered parents. I relied on doctors for health care. I wasn't a doctor or nurse. Even if my peers had spanked and yelled and had the attitude "children should be seen and not heard" or "kids aren't as important as adults"....I would never have believed it and could never have done it. To this day I have gentle loving relationships with my four, usually even Bart. And none of them complain about their childhoods. In fact t they all say they had good childhoods. Question: why would you think we needed a book to know what to as a mother? Don't we just all do what we feel is best? [/QUOTE]
