Going to sit back & watch this one with interest. I imagine you're going to get a certain flavour of comments from the HN crowd...

My advice will be that every child is different. You'll get given 101 bits of advice & most of it will be useless in your context. When you do find something that works for you, great - stick with it. Even if it looks crazy to other people, if it works for you then that's all that matters.

Don't try to hard. There's no perfect parent or perfect child. Do what you think is best & the children will turn out just fine.
