• One of the most important things to
remember as a parent is to be yourself. You can
only use those methods with which you feel
comfortable. A child can spot a fake a mile away.
Select the methods that you believe in, that you
feel comfortable with, and then be consistent.
55. • The truth of the matter is that only you can
decide how good of a parent you’re going to
be and until you come to realize that truth
within yourself, no amount of good parenting
tips you get from anyone else will be of use to
you.
