4 Ways to be a Great Parent
Although I’m still waiting for my imaginary go-to guide on how to be a great parent (I’m thinking it must be lost in the mail for the last 11 years or so…), I’ve tried to do my best by my son.
Here are some good tips for any parent from the folks at Barking Up the Wrong Tree. The summary is below, with the full article available at this link.
- Gardener not carpenter: Your job is to provide a safe space to grow, not to systematically build Frankenstein.
- Under 6, they need play: Having an imaginary friend who happens to be a dragon named “Larry” is a good thing.
- School-age kids need teaching: Help them build skills. Cooking, good. Bartending, not so good.
- Teenagers need apprenticeships: They need to learn how to learn without you. And that means real-world experience.
