DailyDirt: Good Parenting

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

Raising kids isn't easy. Most parents want their kids to be successful, self-motivated, socially well-adjusted, smart, funny, artistic, good at sports, etc, etc.... But these kinds of parental requirements are enough to drive anyone a bit crazy -- and it's a bit unrealistic to think that parents have that much control over the personality and success of their kids. Still, parents want to try to provide the best opportunities for their children, but before parents out there try out the Tiger Mom method, check out a few of these links. If you'd like to read more awesome and interesting stuff, check out this unrelated (but not entirely random!) Techdirt post via StumbleUpon.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Might I suggest...

    The works of John Cheese, who, incidentally, posted a Cracked.com article today about parenting.

    http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-ways-parenting-turns-you-into-dumbass/

    The guy speaks from life lessons, and, really, I think that most of his articles SHOULD be things that everyone should read at least once or twice.

    Hell, give 'em to High School students to read, they might learn a thing or three...

    Not to mention the teachers.

    thats been the problem with the people of the world. people exposing their kids brains to all the wrong things from day one... the things that a brain is exposed to are all it has in it's disposal. that's why the seeds of deception are planted in the fresh soil of their minds from the very beginning.

    sorry, I'll stop now. I'm kinda wasted at the moment so...

    Re:

    The problem is not exposure is how you deal with it.

    Any good ones to start with? It appears that this guy has quite a few articles and columns on Cracked.
