Parenting

I enjoyed listening to Tuesdays lecture. It was really interactive and it was nice to hear everyone's input on the topic. It really made me think about once I have children. I guess I'm a little old fashioned when it comes to raising kids. I think the way I was raised was not too strict, but it was strict enough to where I would never act up infront of my parents. I never really thought about having to split my thoughts and feelings with another person. If my significant other diagrees with a way I handle a certain situation I'm not sure how I would handle that. I'm not a very lenient person. I believe in practicing in what I preach and having some who doesn't believe in something I do may cause some difficulites. I suppose once I get married and actually have children my thoughts will change a little. 10 years from now things could be extremely different. Also, the city that I choose to live in will play a huge part in how I raise my children. I thought it was very interesting hearing about the different things you can learn just from watching kids. They actually can teach us a lot and its cool to learn how to read their actions. The main thing I learned from class was to really think and analyze the problem before reacting to your children.
