I have fathered 8 children with my first wife.

Absorbed 6 more with my second wife

and 2 more with my current wife.

I was raised in an abusive home and vowed to myself and whoever would listen that I would not be unkind to my children.  

I was entering a new field of something I knew nothing about... effective parenting.  I had to learn quickly what works and what didn't work.  Chore charts worked great.  

When they want to be beside you all the time, incorporate them into the activity, regardless of how busy you are.  They just want to be included.  Love is more powerful than anything.  

Teach them to build trust and don't violate the trust.  If there are errors or mistakes along the way, emphasize the good rather than the error.  If you want good to grow, nourish it.  

If you want their bad habits or actions to grow, pay attention to them and focus on that.  Let your garden grow.
