Great post. Im not a parent yet and the idea of being a parent absolutely terrifies me. I know parents always say that you learn as you go(?). But it just seems so daunting. I like that you highlighted the control thing in particular. As adults we hate when people try to control us, so of course children would resent it as well. I think the most important traits of treating others well and being good people can be taught without beating ones child over the head(figuratively) over every thing they do. However, it seems like a skill in an of itself to convey this to them without hurting their spirits.
