It's quite likely your parents raised you wrong.

Mourn.

If that's the case, you're probably raising (or already did raise) your kids wrong.

Apologize and make amends.

Here's how.  To do the latter, not the former.

His name is Nigel Latta, he is a NZ child psychologist. He has made a number of tv shows on parenting - the on on tv at the moment is about raising teenagers.

Worth it if only for the humour. Here as an intro are his 10 basic rules...
1. Remember the three R’s
2. Loving is easy, liking is hard
3. Children are piranhas
4. Feed the good, starve the bad
5. Kids need fences
6. Be consistent-ish
7. Don’t take any crap
8. You gotta have a plan
9. All behaviour is communication
10. Embrace chaos


Good luck!! :) :) :)
