Thanks, Jennifer! It was a surprisingly common sense book but one that every parent should read since our kids don’t come with instruction manuals!

This is fascinating. I’ve always thought the tiger parenting approach could lead to ulcers and kids who have anxiety/perfection issues. Sometimes our striving to make our kids successful in a job can overlook helping them to be successful emotionally. A wise author Tim Shoemaker once said something like we make our kids want to rebel when we demand perfection from them, especially since we cannot achieve that perfection ourselves. Good food for thought here.

The book sounds like a great read for any parent .Each child is an individual and unique in their own way, we as parents have to recognize that and guide them, not change them to the way we want them they will grow to be great just believe in them.Great write-up Pam.

Love it. I’ve only got the one kidlet, so I don’t have much to go on by way of comparison to other siblings. I wonder if I should refer to him as a square peg when he’s being particularly trying…

Great write-up. I’m going to throw my kid a fish right now.
