I love the cosleeping & breastfeeding indefinitely part of your post, because I'm definitely feeling that right now with my 4-year-old. :) But they keep needing that connection, so the best thing is to keep providing it as they ask for it!Lauren Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352349300184483080.post-5877595370500785082011-07-12T21:59:34.118-07:002011-07-12T21:59:34.118-07:00Thank you for the feedback!

I will definitely have to revisit this list as my son grows older...hopefully I'll get a bit wiser, too.MaMammaliahttp://mamammalia.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352349300184483080.post-12871706496677389022011-07-12T14:28:12.859-07:002011-07-12T14:28:12.859-07:00I have been meaning to read Kohn's book - I wi...I have been meaning to read Kohn's book - I will get to it someday! :) But meanwhile, I'll use your fantastic "starter kit" as a reminder of WHY I parent in a peaceful way, and how to continue to do so and nurture a cooperative and loving relationship with my children.

It was very therapeutic for me to read Kohn's book. It's very challenging to change your conditioned mind (from what your parents did, etc)to become an unconditional parent and think differently about raising children. It's a great list that you wrote that every parent should aspire to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352349300184483080.post-81849344250966305182011-07-12T12:39:47.360-07:002011-07-12T12:39:47.360-07:00What a beautiful post, got me bit teary eyed indee...What a beautiful post, got me bit teary eyed indeed ;) <br />As Dionna says, it gets more challenging as they grow older (DD is 4,5). As you say we do the best that we know and we cannot control everything that will influence them. But our unconditional love will always be here.Isil Simsekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848918410956563032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352349300184483080.post-34310945078791244132011-07-12T08:53:02.413-07:002011-07-12T08:53:02.413-07:00Your last two points are my favorites -- being ope...Your last two points are my favorites -- being open to change and accepting his free will. It's easy to think, "Because I am doing things right, things will turn out well." But, on the one hand, sometimes the 'right thing' changes from day to day and year to year, and sometimes a child chooses to do something we wouldn't choose for them. At those times, it's good to remember your two points.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853868724554947854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5352349300184483080.post-6083212840924866362011-07-12T05:31:31.366-07:002011-07-12T05:31:31.366-07:00Yes yes yes!
