I can stop worrying that I've messed him up and concentrate on loving him where he's at. It was also nice to read that he'll be great with newborn sibs!

I even donated the series to the parenting bookshelf at my childcare center so that other parents could read them too. And the other huge benefit is that they are short enough for busy and frazzled parents to easily read. I’m so with you.

I may still not like it, but at least I understand it. We pretty much live by the theory of trust until proven untrustworthy.
