And like the twins PP, I always make sure to say that this approach has worked for us but X,Y and Z has worked for others and I will also talk about others' experiences.

I once read a phrase in another board and it really stuck with me: "... [b]After becoming a parent I learned to just ignore the name of the book, author or the website and embrace whatever works for my family". [/b]I don't believe in philosophies or styles, I believe in loving parents making choices based on the best interest of their families.[/quote]

Dear goodness, NO. There are a lot of nut jobs out there who will tout everything from the benefits of not vaccinating your children to spanking babies. Please, vet your sources! Some are actually based upon sound research, whereas others are just opinions with made-up facts and anecdotes. I'm not saying that double-blind studies and peer-reviews journal articles are always right, but they are far more reliable than some random website or interesting book.

OP, some parents, whether they have 1 or 4 children, just give good advice. Other parents, whether they have 1 or 4 children, will consistently give you bad advice. If you like this woman's perspective, which seems to be backed up by her professional observation of 100s of children, then accept it gratefully.
