The Ten Basic Principles of Good Parenting by Laurence Steinberg
I brought and read the Chinese translation version of this book when I was in Taiwan this July. After scanning the book around one hour in a bookshop, I found the ten principles of good parenting convincing, so I decided to buy it and read the whole book. Here are the 10 basic principles.
- What you do matters.
- You cannot be too loving.
- Be involved in your child’s life.
- Adapt your parenting to fit your child.
- Establish and set rules.
- Foster your child’s independence.
- Be consistent.
- Avoid harsh discipline.
- Explain your rules and decisions.
- Treat your child with respect.
