Dr. Glasser teaches that the best way to begin the task of parenting is with the most general picture possible. For example, in his book "Take charge of your life", he says, "we want them to be warm and loving; hardworking and financially prudent; careful about their health,(we especially don't want them to use drugs); moral and law-abiding; and both caring and respectful of their friends, family and family friends." To me, the what question you want to ask yourself is more about what choices are my children making, and are they coming from his/her heart and mind or mine?
I have learned that the most important thing we can want for our children is for them to have a good foundation in love and respect, the ability to fulfill their five needs, and the ability to problem solve and negotiate. What do you think?
