how best to reach this goal.Over the years,parents have tried dramaticalty different ways.They have put their baby on a schedule,or they have fed on demand;they have Jet their babycry himsetf to sleep,or they have picked him up as soon as he cried;they have given their child whatever he wants,or they have taught him to get everything through his own efforts,These contrasting parenting strategies arise from quite different views of the nature of children and childhood and the roles of parents.Some parents view their child as naturalty social.To them,their job is to allow him the space to succeed.Others think that their child should be taught how to act.There are probably positives and negatives to each method.None of them guarantees that your child wHI become the foving indivrduai you want him to be.But some things are certain*a child will be more likely to be loving if you show him love,more successful if you give him examples of success,and happier if you are happy.1.What is this passage about?2.What do parents NOT agree upon?3.Why do parents have different methods for raising children?4*How will a father raise his child if he believes his child is

fact,he can be a selfabsorbed jerk.Were nearly polar opposites:Hes a lifetime member of the NRA who doesnt care for journalists,and Im a hfelong liberal with a journalism degree.On the other hand,he doesnl beat or emotionaHy abuse me.He doesnt drmk or chase other women.Hes a good provider.So fm sticking with him.Some people would call that settling like ifs a bad thing.But I believe in settling.Atas,to many of us the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.From movies to magazines to commercials were told that we should demand more from lives that are,for many of us,pretty good.We suppose to look better eat better,find better jobs,be better lovers and parents and workers A stable marriage isnt enough,fts supposed to be a fairy tale.Perfection is the goal.Settling in my sense,is about acceptance.Trn a pretty happy person,in large part because Im honest with mysetf about what I have.Of course,some situations are worth improving.If your weight jeopardizes your health,exercise and change your eating habits;if your job makes you truly miserable,find a new one.If your marriage is toxic end it.Chances are,though you probably have what you need.If youre unhappy,ask yourself:Ann I unhappy because i really dont have what I needt or because I just want more?So,yes Pm settling,fm happy with my husband who,despite his flaws,is a caring father capabte of
