I'm not the "child-raising" sort, but this kind of makes me wonder... is it possible for anyone to grow up "normal" these days? How were children raised - or more to the point, how did we view child-raising - before the advent of modern psychology?
i suppose a good way to raise a child is to answer their questions and don't ignore them. everything else is sort of learn as you go. But then me being a male...I don't have any idea how to raise a child so my opinion on the matter is to be taken at what its worth...nothing. But...love and caring and a stable house are good things to have as a background. coming from a broken home myself its...hard for me to think how i would turn out if both my orignal parents had stayed together.
