Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry.
Democritus
i would say probably the best strategy is to take each kid exactly as they are. just like we shouldnt try to change our spouse, we should just let it all be.
but i have a feeling that involves acknowledging boys and girls are just different.
i try to take the long view and from that perspective, not much of the daily disagreement s or shortcomings matter.
