Motherhood is NOT a rehearsal! Book I read today.

This book is set up somewhat like a dissertation.
(ive never read a dissertation, but i bet this is what it would look like) 119 pages - from the local library.

I agree with most of her points. BE your child's GREATEST supporter & cheeleader!!....Find their individual talents..Don't compare a child to any other child...Treat kids the way you want to be treated.. don't expect your child to fulfill your unfulfilled dreams... Speak to babies and children in a normal voice using "normal" words. No babytalk!

I don't agree that you should not discuss life issues that are going on in your family and other families. I agree not to be a gossip about others, but if a situaiton is going on in aother family (i.e. sickness, divorce, job loss) we can learn from the situation and have more compassion and charity towards that family because we have disscussed their situation.
