Discipline: The Relationship Between Writing and Parenting
Blind?
Look. Feel. See. Decide not to.
Why patience is important to good parenting
The first thing to parenting is patience. Your baby will scream. Your four year-old will defy you. Your seven year-old will disobey you. Your ten year-old will make trouble. But if you meet these troubles with patience, your family will come out better for the wear. Learn how.

Family~One Man’s Experience
The 50's, 60's, and 70's were known prevalent years for spanking. While acknowledging that many good things did arise from the progress of those times, the amount of spanking that occurred is one of the reasons I do not like them.
