I'm 36 years old and soon to be a first time Father. My wife and I have been married for under a year and I want to learn as much as possible to minimize mistakes. Personally, I hate modern, overbearing, over protective parents where the kids end up spoiled, disrespectul, obese, whiney brats on prozac. I'm not for or against spanking. They don't have to wear helmets while riding a bike if they don't WANT TO. They don't AUTOMATICALLY make the baseball team. I'm not trying to raise the next Bill Gates or Tiger Woods. I just want to raise a good "old fashioned" kid who is respectful, well mannered . . . AND PLAYS OUTSIDE !!! Are there any books that will help me achieve this ???
I don't want to hear from candy-*** parents who berate me about the helmet thing either !!!
