We’re not raising children…we’re raising future adults

I was just listening to one of my favorite talk show hosts, Dennis Prager, and he had a caller remind him that many years ago he had said that we should all remember that when we are dealing with our children, we are raising future adults.  The caller said that she and her husband had held onto that thought, and it had shaped many choices they made when correcting their children.

What an important concept!  I’ve written about this frequently over the years, so I’ll share some of the posts below.  Please free to share your thoughts about this.
