Emily Post on Parenting
|
|
Did you know that Emily believed in "floor time" long before it was a term in every pare nting book? In Laura Claridge's new biography Emily Post: Daughter of the Gilded Age, Mistress of American Manners (Random House, October, 2008), Emily spent every Sunday afternoon playing with her grandson William Post, Sr. Mr. Post reminisces that his "grandmama" loved sitting on the floor, spending time with him doing jigsaw puzzles or watching him make lead soldiers, and that she even continued to sit on the living room floor well into her elder years.

A Question for Cindy
|
|
Soccer Dad Gone Bad?
One of the dads at my son's soccer games screams instructions at his son the whole time. It makes me and the other parents crazy. Can I say something?
Cindy says:
It's better to go right to the coach. This man might lash out at you in the heat of the moment; plus, he may respond more positively to the coach's authority. Take along another parent or two who feel the same way, and explain to the coach that this dad is bothering many parents and probably the players as well. Offer your support, but let the coach handle the problem, ideally by speaking with the parent privately.
