How to Parent? Do It Gently
Erica Komisar's op-ed 'Don't Fool Around With 'FAFO Parenting'' (Aug. 8) reminds me of the advice a dear friend and experienced parent gave me when our first son was born many years ago. 'Raising children is like holding onto a bar of soap in the shower,' she said. 'Too firm a grip, and the soap will squirt out of your hand. Too loose a grip, and you'll drop the soap. A consistent gentle grasp will keep it in your hands.'
