One ...that is one thing I worry about constantly!! One of my boys is extra fussy, and seems to get more attention. I try to spend quality time with the other one when mr. fussy pants hasn't woken up yet...but I'm always worried about scaring my children for life :o)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06940692121210503441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-61075370746715980852010-09-08T19:56:16.768-05:002010-09-08T19:56:16.768-05:00and we all know that you don't have to be any ...and we all know that you don't have to be any kind of expert to author a book. heck, i could write a book based on this first year. not sure who would read it, but it would probably drive whoever read it crazy with conflicting advice! <br /><br />the food one is the thing that i really wish there was a check box or an algarhythm for!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-43670995657772122752010-09-08T19:00:31.441-05:002010-09-08T19:00:31.441-05:00I have to say I didn't know where you were goi...I have to say I didn't know where you were going with that heading! Hmmm, I thought. I should have been more trusting because you have pulled together another ripper post.<br /><br />Parenting is a mind-field of dichotomies. This way or that way? I personally reckon there are many 'ways' to the same end-point. As long as you love hard and consistently, the kids will come out all right. <br /><br />I haven't read this book so I will have to take your word for it, but I reckon all kids need to be 'licked'. Human touch is the most under-rated of the senses and yet it is so important as an expression of love, intimacy and connection. <br /><br />A&B are very lucky to have such a doting Mum!MultipleMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621170366257326241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-21160779425493607832010-09-08T13:30:36.536-05:002010-09-08T13:30:36.536-05:00So funny about you "licking" your babies...So funny about you "licking" your babies quite frequently. I also read One and the Same, but didn't interpret that part quite the same way you did. Glad you spelled it out for me, because now I too can feel good about the fact that my kiddos are "licked" all the time and will, hopefully, turn out to be a-okay! :o)<br /><br />There is just way too much to worry about. I think I worried myself out the first year. I've had far less worries since then.reanbeanhttp://www.reanbean.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-58615345164188003262010-09-08T13:07:16.774-05:002010-09-08T13:07:16.774-05:00Wow! This is so interesting and I feel the same wa...Wow! This is so interesting and I feel the same way!! Interestly enough - I just started taking my girls (12 months) to daycare 1 day/week. It has been going absolutely awful because they are so attached to me. Ms. R literally sceams (as is ... she is angry) all day long. SO...like you ... I question everything. Should I continue....or stop?? How is EVERYTHING I am doing impacting their development. It can make me crazy at times. In the end I just say to myself that I am doing the darn best I know how. And - that's all I have! Thanks for a very thought provoking post!Cuz I'm the mama!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08936087616101002626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-26901359665768576792010-09-08T12:39:55.008-05:002010-09-08T12:39:55.008-05:00All the conflicting information out there is enoug...All the conflicting information out there is enough to make you go insane!!! Just do what feels right in your heart...hopefully any mistakes we do make, our children will know we did out of love.Helenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743718606624231459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-50729385567676108922010-09-08T09:07:03.508-05:002010-09-08T09:07:03.508-05:00Don't we drive ourselves crazy with worry?!?! ...Don't we drive ourselves crazy with worry?!?! And the books only make it worse-- go to any book store and I can promise you will find two books which give opposite advice on nearly any part of parenting.<br /><br />In my oh so humble opinion, you are doing the right thing-- what your gut tells you to do!! Keep 'licking' those sweet little girls and they'll be just fine!<br /><br />p.s. wasn't "One and the Same" soo interesting?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289616843275308342noreply@blogger.com
