Dr. Laura,
With your help, I've developed my own 'dogma' for raising children over these past 15 years. I decided to write some of it on my blog today:
How Not to Raise a Child
I am a big advocate for families... I think that the basis of society is the family. Procreation is the epitome of life and raising a child in a loving and nurturing environment is essential to their health as an adult. Regardless of the trends in "modern families", this fact will always be true. Selfishness, greed, pride-- unfortunately these sins get in the way of doing what's right and what's best for the family. These are some of my ways not to raise a child…

I'm not sure if I'll have people agreeing with me or not, but I wanted to share it because it took a long time to know this (as all wisdom does!).
If you get a second, peruse my list... I hope you agree!
Love,
Bethany
