Parenting Across Generations

Parents don’t just pass down genes, they pass down all kinds of habits, traditions, and expectations of what it means to be a good (or not so good) parent. What carryovers from your childhood have shaped how you raise your own kids? Are you as Xbox-averse as your dad was to Atari? Do you make sure your kids finish the season before giving up a sport, since your mama didn’t raise a quitter? Tell us (and see terms) at rd.com/parenting, and we might use your story in an upcoming issue.
