If you want to have some sort of philosophy set in stone, however, you could go with "keep the faith" and "stay married", which are always good things to do as parents.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739771397106792631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989033992988999073.post-16035534180132362132014-02-13T08:46:54.322-06:002014-02-13T08:46:54.322-06:00We're definitely going to incorporate the use ...We're definitely going to incorporate the use of temperaments for our kids (choleric, sanguine, melancholic, phlegmatic) as well as understanding differences in gender in order to know how to parent them as individuals. :) There is actually a book called "The Temperament God Gave your Child" (Part of the series of books: "The Temperament God Gave You" and "The Temperament God Gave Your Spouse). Also, we're hoping to take time aside each year to review each child and see how our parenting style for that child is working and if anything needs to be tweaked.

You and Frank really are ahead of the curve in realizing that it's just silly to box yourselves into a parenting philosophy. You truly can't predict the various needs of your child!
