Parenting Techniques?

Read a parenting book:

1. Develop autonomy, let the child find out her own answers instead of feeding her with information.

Sharleen was asking me "why did xxxxx".

I lifted the answer off the book "Why do u think it is this way?".

"No, I'm asking u, why u ask me back???"

2. Give the child his wishes in fantasy (when it cannot be fulfilled)

"Where is that place? I want to go!" (That's Disneyland on TV)

"I wish we are there now, playing with Mickey..."

"No, I want really go, not imagine!"

No textbook answers for raising children. 一种米养百种人
