maybe getting DH a book on EQ... I believe studies show that it is a better measure of "success"... and what is "success" in DH's eyes?

I also think Habits of Mind. Great for everyone.

My DH & I continually remind each other that we tend to get most frustrated and least accepting when there is some thread of our own agenda/ego tied up with the outcomes/expectations of our children.

I try to make our home the "safe place to fall" - where the kids know that they can simply be who they are, not who I may want them to be!!!

And if it's too hard for me, then I need to look in the mirror!
