My mom had “Parenting the Strong-Willed Child”
It did not help her at all. Only thing that actually helped was the right depression meds after trying so many for like 12 years.
Only thing that helped me was turning 18.
After that, I became a strong-willed adult.
It’s always fun to find those (Is my kid [problem]?) books in a parent’s library later in life. Mostly because it’s never (Am I effectively helping my kid or actively worsening a problem?) books because parents didn’t seem to consider their own roles and effects in childrearing, and kinda quietly implies you can easily force your kid to be compliant with your expectations. Especially older books.
The book is about children with dyslexia.
I am not! My mother had me tested!
In second thought… Forget the kid!!
If you have to ask…
I want to get a book like this except when you open it all it says is “made ya look!”
or just one word, fill in the blank style, with handwritten “yes” in it.
I feel like this post is just an excuse for OP to respond comments with futurama pics
Should be a reason to post more often, tbh
Yes, but not quite as worried as if they had a copy of ‘To Raise Up A Child’, so there’s that.
What’s wrong with that book? If I ever had kids (God forbid), I’d read such a book to get ahead in the mess I’ve created for myself.
How else are you supposed to learn?
It very clearly advocates for and instructs people in child abuse.
…?
Well?
Any answer yet?
Mine had “parenting a retarded child”.
So? Are you?

They were pioneers of the “is he stupid?” meme. Sorry you had to find out this way though.
I can’t swallow that!
