There’s a lot about the HuffPo that doesn’t jive with me, but this article by Gretchen Rubin about 10 ways to be a more light-hearted parent is a pretty spot-on piece.

While I understand and agree with the point of #6, I would say it’s more important to phrase things in terms of what you want them to do. Sometimes negative phrasing might be the right way to phrase it. Still, Ms. Rubin’s point is generally solid. You can read this for further elaboration on what I mean.

Still, a pretty decent list.
