Parenting is undeniably one of life’s greatest sources of both joy and challenge. Growing up as the child of one’s parents is similarly filled with strong, and usually mixed, emotions. An almost universal desire in parents upon the birth of each child is a deep commitment to do everything possible to ensure their child’s lasting health, competence, and happiness. And yet most all parents begin their own parenting journey with ideas about how to parent better than their own parents had.”(Ramey, 2002, p.47)
