Wonderful goals. I concur!

That is an awesome list! I would like to parent in all those ways as well, but I think (since you asked) that I would have to add “patient” to my list. Patience doesn’t come easily for me, and with all the bickering that’s going on in my house lately, I really need it!

Love this post! My problem is finding the time to apply some of these ideas. Between work, housework, writing my blog and other commitments, I find I am not the parent I want to be.

What a brilliant post. I have been feeling caught in a slump of some kind, as if I need to make a step out and forwards as a parent but feeling unsure of how…my daughter is 3 and I feel it’s time to add to my original aims/goals/dreams of what kind of parent I’d like to be…and this post has just given me the impetus I need. I’m off to ponder and reflect and make that next step! Thank you.

I misread “kick-ass” as “kissable” and I thought “aw”, so I would add that to the list! (or even affectionate – I thought that was missing)

Great post as usual!

Thanks for the link to your post. I’ll have to check out some of these blogs and books you referenced. Curiosity is so important to me so I try to ignite that spark in my boys. Life is about learning and fun, and the two are not mutually exclusive!

What a great post! I loved the type of playful parent. Everything should be done in a way that causes fun, that is by games and plays. Kids learn a lot through games’ and parents learn a lot too (mostly about their kids) through plays and fun. The whole world should be seen through the eyes of a kid: Have fun!!!
