I take life as a never ending experiment so I am not sure at the moment if there can be any general rules for raising a kid. (There can be general rules in technology, physics etc. but can there be any for rational AND irrational human mind?)Nevertheless, here (bumped to it from here) is a good one (for me): "Rather than reacting to behavior, discover the needs leading to the behavior."
(Two nephew mouses as for aesthetic appeal, not as lab-mouses :)
