About This Blog
"The child is father of the man" is a line taken from William Wordsworth's short poem 'Rainbow'. He writes of his childhood fascination for rainbows,which stays with him in his adult life. Habits formed in childhood continue into adulthood. What the child is, the man will become, is the poet's refrain. So, forming the right habits in children is a huge responsibility for parents. This blog is an attempt to share with you 38 years of parenting experience - warts and all - and the insights gained through lapses, repentance and reform.

I will keep updating this list and soon include links to other websites and blogs.There's also a Guest Articles page - readers of the blog send me articles they've written and I include some of them here that I think you may find useful. And finally under Books By the Author there's a list of books I've already written and published and pre-order options for books I'm currently working on.
