You know, it sounds all warm and fuzzy, but in reality you need far more than just love to raise a child.
You can't raise a child without love, but you cannot raise a child on love alone. Everything you do should be done "out of love" though.
Kids need boundaries.
Kids need to be able to make mistakes, and learn from them, with discipline but never fear of abuse.
Kids need to trust, so they need honestly and integrity from their parents and loved one.
Kids need to learn, they need an environment that encourages learning and trying new things.
and, what I think it probably right up there with love...
Kids need to be able to laugh, play, be silly, be ridiculous...this will teach them how to feel happy, so that they will not let anyone take that away later in life. It will build self-esteem.

I agree.
Kids will grow and learn from the lessons parents teach them. One of the things kids need to learn at a young age is that authority of decision/action comes with responsibility tied to that decision/action and accountability for the outcome.
