Number 1. And the winner is...
I shouldn't decide this one on my own.
Gentle readers, there are as many paths to positive parenting as there are to positive change in any other sphere of life. So I appeal to you to write a response. (Being an actual parent is not a requirement; in the real world, lack of personal experience doesn't dissuade most people I know from sharing opinions on this topic!)
In the meantime, my very warmest wishes for a positive, healthful 2012, filled with love and fulfilling work!
Welcome to SECOND OPINION. Visit us if you are interested in the world of healthcare quality and the hard work of eliminating harm from our healthcare system. We'll talk about Pediatric healthcare (my first love) and surprising and innovative efforts from many quarters to reinfuse Medicine with the kind of Humanism and patient-centeredness that are the enduring legacy of our profession. My aim is to be relevant, practical, philosophical, occasionally outrageous but always worth the read!
Your Top 10 is right on. For me, I trust my intuition. I parent with my senses; listening for laughter or kissing tears, watching for a sign of fear or trust and holding their hands now and then.
