RE: How to put the Parent back in Parenting
I like your take on this, I once invested in education too much at the cost of the children's well being. It is all about balance!

For sure! Easier said than done, but a good goal to shoot for. I also learned a humbling perspective from my Grandma, long before I became a dad myself. She said that parents ought not accept too much praise when their kids succeed and ought not accept too much blame for their faults. Yes, parents play a very important role, but I think this maxim seeks to recognize that kids are in fact full humans.
