Respect has always been at the core of my wife and I's parenting philosophy. Children are fully-qualified persons in their own right, they're not an extension of their parents. They have their own tastes, dreams and aspirations. They'll test to find the limits of what they can do, and it doesn't really matter where it's actually set but it's really important that they do find it. They can understand why we have to say no to them, and if you communicate the reason they'll respect it.

All of this continues well into their teenage years, BTW.

I keep telling my wife we have to write a book on parenting, but she thinks it'll be too controversial (especially our views around daycare and schooling)...
