You will parent far better if you know about these places

Typically, one parent comes from a logical mind and one parent comes for an emotional mind. It is best parents can combine these places. When doing so, the logical mind + the emotional mind, equals the wise mind. This is the best place to parent from.  The wise mind allows you to respond without the emotional "heartache" that comes from saying NO to your child. The wise mind also allows you to combine logic with emotion, as a response that comes from just a logical place historically does not work. Your children are emotional beings, not robots. A relationship can not be built on logic.
