Parenting Wild Things Quotes

“Truly, good parenting can be summed up in one sentence: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The Golden Rule (AKA – the second greatest commandment) trumps any parenting theories out there. Do you want someone to be angry at you for your failings, condescend to you in your ignorance, punish you unfairly without a clear understanding of why, speak to you as if you were stupid or unloved, or hit you when you’ve done something to upset them? Do you think those actions would help mold you into a better, more loving person?”
