What are the 'costs' of active parenting? Financially, they're about the same as passive parenting; most items on the list are free. The real 'costs' are time and involvement, but as you give each of these you soon discover that the rewards -- for both you and your child -- make your investment worthwhile and enjoyable. And, in examining the costs, one should also consider what are the costs -- both for now and the future -- if the investment of time and involvement is not made. Always remember: Parenting isn't something that happens -- it is something you do.
