Bits of advice I wish I had known
Great list, but:<p>> To keep young kids behaving on a car road trip, have a bag of their favorite candy and throw a piece out the window each time they misbehave.<p>That's terrible advice. Treat children with respect! They are very smart, they just lack experience. If they "misbehave", talk to them and explain why this is not good. If you can't find an explanation, chances are you are wrong and you should reevaluate your position.<p>But never, never, never willfully hurt them by throwing away their favorite candy. So wrong on so many levels.<p>This was a big surprise for me in this list as I mostly agree with the items before it. Or, to use a previous item:<p>> You’ll get 10x better results by elevating good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior, especially in children and animals.<p>Well said.
