Let Go, Mom

For 32 years, Focus on the Family has been sharing timeless, biblical principles about the family. Dr. Dobson’s common-sense, intuitive approach to parenting and marriage reflects his own upbringing, and his parents’ wisdom. He has often pointed out that much of his advice is found right in the Scriptures. For that reason, it is always interesting to me when social scientists reveal something “new” - that we’ve been saying for three decades.

This article has some good parenting insights, and references “new” research that confirms…old, “traditional” understandings. I’d suggest you read this so you can keep up with the latest trends. Kids need the influence of both Mom and Dad. Fathers and mothers have different ways of relating to the children. And sometimes Mom has to let go of how the interactions happen.
