4. I have no grandchildren, but I clearly recall how determined I was

to raise my children differently from the way I was raised.

Not that my parents did a lot wrong, but certain things had changed. The accepted wisdom about various aspects of child rearing had changed from when I was born to when my children were born.

If I ever do have grandchildren, I hope I will be able to be happily supportive of how they are raised, no matter what is done differently with them from what I thought was right.
