To drive a car or buy a gun requires a license and some instruction. To parent requires only having a child. Yet the job of parenting is the most important job anyone will ever do, because parenting plays a huge part in building the future of the world. Many parenting books offer suggestions about controlling our children, directing them, shaping them as we need them to be.
In Raising the Future , author R. Felice Gedeon-Gaude encourages parents to see the uniqueness of each child, asking them to explore how to foster that uniqueness while facilitating the safe, healthy, and appropriate growth of the children in their care. This guide offers methods for parents to explore their own memories of being parented, in order to recognize the sources of their responses to their children's behavior. Raising the Future also directs parents to listen carefully to their children, because it is through those exchanges that parents will better understand how to help them to grow into well-adjusted children and, eventually, happy, productive adults.

Chapter One
WHO IS YOUR CHILD?
Well, that question looks easy, doesn't it? Your child is (name your child!).
Yes, but who IS your child?
How is he/she in the world?
What are his favorite places, his favorite things to do, favorite color, or fantasy, or best attribute?
What are his strengths and weaknesses? Don't forget those weaknesses.
What is his birth order, and how does that affect his behavior?
Are your personalities a good fit?
So, who is your child?
Now that you have a clearer idea of what I mean by the question, lets work at answering it.
SEEING YOUR CHILD
My child is_____________ years old. Ok, that's a start. Is your child a young or an old _______? See, always another question. I want you to look at him developmentally, that is from the perspective of what children are normally doing at this age. Check the appendix which gives some of the 'expected behaviors of each age/stage of development through age seven. How does your child fit here? Remember - normal is a broad continuum, while average is right in the middle. By this I mean that normal skills and behaviors for an age group or developmental stage cover a broad range, while the average behavior is a specific that falls in the middle of that age bracket. For example, the average age that toddlers learn to walk is 12 months. But it is normal for babies to walk anywhere from 9 months to 15 or 16 or 17 months. That is the continuum.
