M: So

metimes I really don't understand you. You are often rude to our children, you never play with them, and you rarely say you love them. This isn't how parents are supposed to act. Where did you learn such behavior?

W: Hey! I don't think I've treated them any differently than my parents treated me and my sisters!

M: So that's where you learned it... from your parents?

W: My parents were good. They raised three children.

M: From what I can see, they didn't teach you how to be a loving person. What is going to happen to our kids? If you keep treating them poorly, they're going to grow up to be just like you.

W: Listen, there's a lot that I can learn about being a good mother, but I still think I'm doing a good job. Look at our kids. They're already kind and loving people. And I don't think you have any reason to worry.

Transcript:
All parents want to raise a happy, successful and loving child, but there is little agreement about how best to reach this goal. Over the years, parents have tried dramatically different ways. They have put their baby on a schedule, or they have fed on demand; they have let their baby cry himself to sleep, or they have picked him up as soon as he cried; they have given their child whatever he wants, or they have taught him to get everything through his own efforts. These contrasting parenting strategies arise from quite different views of the nature of children and childhood and the roles of parents. Some parents view their child as naturally social. To them, their job is to allo

w him the space to succeed. Others think that their child should be taught how to act. There are probably positives and negatives to each method. None of them guarantees that your child will become the loving individual you want him to be. But some things are certain — a child will be more likely to be loving if you show him love, more successful if you give him examples of success, and happier if you are happy.
