Fresh Manifestos
Posted on 18. Jan, 2007 by Brian Reid in General
As promised, I’ve updated the Parenting Manifesto Project page with four new efforts, including some of the more insightful and well-written efforts to date. I’m taken with Alice’s take on parenthood, and I’m convinced that every parent should probably be forced — while still in the delivery room — to memorize the entirity of Ward Willat’s effort:
1. Don’t make too many rules.
2. Enforce the rules you do make.
3. Don’t see everything.
Keep ‘em coming.

The link to my manifesto appears to have changed for some reason, and is now:

Apologies for any confusion.

I’ll change shortly. Thanks for the catch — and the great thoughts.

As someone who’s been parenting for 16 years now, I think that Ward’s 3 rules are exactly right, and just as valid for teenagers as for toddlers.
