THE PARENTING MANIFESTO PROJECT
From Al Watts:
I thought my best advice as an at home dad would come from my mom, who was an at home parent herself for about 15 years. It didn't; it came from my dad."Whatever you do as a parent, just love your kids and make sure they know they can always come home. I always felt that no matter what I did, even murder, my mom would still love me. If I ever needed money or a place to stay for awhile, I knew I was always welcome to move back home."
With all the complexity in the world today, I think my dad is right. Parenting comes down to one simple thing: love. Love your kids. Tell them you love them. Show them you love them. Make sure they know they can tell you ANYTHING and, while you may be disappointed in them or need to discipline them, you will still LOVE them.
