What way of upbringing your parents did to you that you would still keep when you have your own kids? And what would you do differently?
As a kid, my cousing was forced to eat stuff she didn't really like. And her mom was real strict while enforcing the eating rule. When she had her own kids, she let them eat whenever, whatever, and how much they liked.
My dad used to count when we ate. Because we would take so long to finish our meals. He would only count like, until 5 and when he's got us chowing down like mad, he'd leave us alone. By the time we're done eating he'd complete his count up till 10.
That's a smart way to discipline your kids. I'd like to do that too someday. Hopefully.
