[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]PS Have any of you read "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin deBecker? I last read it years ago, but now that we're talking about this, I seem to remember it having some recommendations in this area. Am I thinking of the right book? Maybe I need to re-read it ...[/quote] I am a NYer who read it, and found it to be useless. But I have street smarts for days. You're sick and have kids and are busy. Ill save you some time: trust your gut. The End. That's his whole book. If anything, have your SON read the book. [/quote] The Gift of Fear is a great book, and really has a lot more in it than just trust your gut, but he does emphasize that. The best book for helping to raise kids is Gavin de Becker's book called Protecting the Gift. He goes through strategies of safely teaching your kids ways to become more independent. [/quote]
