Children are a direct reflection of their upbringing. How they handle themselves, unexpected problems, setbacks, rejection, or the harsh reality of the world all depends on how and what they were taught. It's a big--but important--task, and you may even feel unqualified for the job, but this navigational guide is all you will ever need.
