NICE KIDS

We don’t need another parenting book that promises nice kids. There are too many out there already, and I wrote a few. Being nice just doesn’t cut it anymore, not in the new millennium. In case you didn’t notice, things have changed.

You can point to fanatic terrorism, the new millennium, the rise of the hip-hop culture, or that retro fashions are currently hip—whatever you want to point to as the cause; things are different. And a parenting philosophy that focuses only on  external behavior is destined to fail.

What do I mean by nice? The pleasant, well-mannered, carefully groomed, preferably conservatively dressed and conversational person. Isn’t that what we want our kids to be? Maybe, if it was 1950. But the happy days are gone withThe Fonz and poodle skirts.

My trusty Webster’s dictionary says that at one point nice meant “strange, lazy, foolish,” coming from a Latin root for “ignorant"; literally, “not knowing.” I don’t want my child to be a nice ignorant fool, too lazy to accomplish anything!  In these pages, I want to challenge the concept of parenting from the outside, focusing on the looks, behavior and performance of the child.  I want us to deal with developing kids who aren’t ignorant. Who aren’t foolish. Who aren’t naïve. Kids who are courageous, compassionate and are committed to change their world, rather than be shaped by it. Are you with me?
