I heard a great quote from a friend today, about parenting. She was told to “find your parenting style and then find books that support it”, not the other way around.

How true! I find that I feel better about myself as a parent when I read something that promotes what I am already doing. Conversly I feel like a failure or like I must be doing something wrong when I read books that go against what I do, but are widely accepted as “good parenting” books.
