I saw this on Elizabeth Pantleys (Author of No Cry Sleep Solution etc.) FB page this morning and thought it was a something that every parent should read so I will share it here:
"There are no absolute rules about raising children. Raise yours in ways that are right for you. Address only problems that are problems to you. Don’t imagine problems because someone else thinks you have them, even if that person is family, friend or expert. Read, listen and learn constantly, but always sift what you learn through the strainer of your personal beliefs and parenting philosophy" |

Oh I absolutely love that. Stupid that we need "permission" to feel like we can make our own decisions isn't it? ------------- Adoring Mum to Talisin 8/9/11 and Kiara 18/01/10 |

Thats it in a nutshell!!!
I remember reading a book about sleep in Tom's early days. I dont think it was her's but it basically said "if your baby cries, and you want to pick it up, then pick it up. If you want to cuddle it, cuddle it" etc etc and I still remember the feeling of total relief at finally reading something that echoed how I was thinking.....this is another of those statements. |
