DISQUS

I love the parental mission statement. I imagine that it's easier to say than do - but probably even harder to do if you haven't really formulated your principles in your own mind.

I like the parental mission statement as well -but unfortunately I don't think it's very realistic. From what I understand from friends who have older kids than I, you just can't treat a four year old like an adult and expect them to make the right choices.

Four Pillars, I certainly don't expect children to make the right choices. They are learning, and as parents, we facilitate their learning process. I don't think children and adults are the same; rather, I think we are all human beings and therefore deserving of mutual respect.

I wrote my parental mission statement when our daughter was one year old. She is now 2.5 years and our parenting style is working extremely well for our family. She is growing more confident, competent, sensitive, social and inquisitive every day. Strangers often comment on how well-behaved, responsive and mature she seems and since she seems advanced for her age, they assume she is over 3. (This is particularly remarkable because her development was initially delayed due to benign neglect before her adoption.)

Thank you, Brip Blap, for your complimentary introduction and the opportunity to appear on your blog!

Awesome insight from someone with a wealth of knowledge, experience, and well...money. That was a great read, I like the parenting part as well and also the portrait of yourself 40 years from now. We have a lot of the same goals and outlooks. Thank you for your time and thanks Steve for putting this together.
