Warning/Disclaimer

On this site, I will make every effort to be clear and explicit. I hope that what I offer will help you engage your children and aid their minds to blossom. What this site will not help you do however is create well-behaved or obedient children. I confess that as a parent, I struggle with this issue myself. There are many good books out there that can assist you in this regard.

The domain of my comments is somewhat different. Do not worry though, being precocious is not counter to being well-behaved. They are simply different areas of concern, just as being a good cook or gardener speaks nothing of your ability to learn French or Cantonese.

I do believe that the best I can do for my children is to give them every advantage possible for the development of their minds, all the while accepting that what is best for them (and I hope for the world in which they grow) is not always what is easiest for me. If you choose to follow the advice and ideas I proffer here, be forewarned, you may likely produce a strong-willed and independent child, one who may outwit your every effort to set down rules.

But to quote Farquat of Dulock: "That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."
