My interest in parenting stems from my experience as a kid – feeling that I was smarter than adults thought I was, but hadn’t yet developed the language to fully express myself; and my observations as an adult – that many of the same skills that I used to deal with people on the job are applicable to parenting as well. Adults and children generally respond as intelligently as you treat them, and it’s much easier to change your response than to change the way someone acts.
