What a sweet girl. Only a fourteen-year-old could start a letter declaring that she hates me and end with assurances of eternal love. I’ll bet Tiffany is a challenge for her momand dad, but there are better days coming. The parents I amadvising today were testy kids like Tiffany when I wrote my first book on child rearing, but now something rather funny has happened. They have grown up and produced strong-willed children of their own, and they’re looking for help. It is rewarding for me to watch a second generation of moms and dads learn to deal with the same issues and problems that they presented to their parents twenty-five years ago. Who knows? Maybe I’ll have an opportunity to advise a third generation when Tiffany’s first baby comes along. She and other young moms from her generation willsee things froman entirely different perspective then. But I amgetting ahead of myself.
