I'm pretty earthy; I nursed forever because I liked it and my kids liked it, but at the same time I'm very laissez-faire about stuff like bedtimes and food.
My parents, I don't know about 'strict,' but I would say they were fair and judicious, you know?
Young children were sooner allured by love, than driven by beating, to attain good learning.
He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand, his gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand.
In mine opinion, love is fitter than fear, gentleness better than beating, to bring up a child rightly in learning.
Reproof, especially as it relates to children, administered in all gentleness, will render the culprit not afraid, but ashamed to repeat the offence.
Writing responds well to some gentle scheduling. A day job not only promotes solvency, it promotes creativity as well.
You don't have to be an at-home parent to be an attachment parent.
