I have been listening to people's advice. Being a parent, you need all the advice you can get.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Perhaps the soundest advice for parents is: Lighten up. People have been raising children for approximately as long as there have been people.
Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.
If you're the parent, be a parent. You know what I mean? I'm a parent. I have daughters.
What I've learned about being a parent is how much you sort of secretly learn from everyone else and how valuable it is.
I'm afraid the parenting advice to come out of developmental psychology is very boring: pay attention to your kids and love them.
No matter what, it is very tricky and difficult just to be a good parent at all. I have a lot of help. And for that I'm very grateful.
Advice is such a tricky thing when you're young.
Listen to advice from people who have been there and done that. It is so hard to believe that when you are young, but parents, mentors, teachers, they can all be so valuable when it comes to advice.
As a rule, I try to steer clear of opinions pertaining to your parenting. I assume you're doing the best you can, and God bless.
I have this blanket thing about giving parenting advice to parents, and that's: 'Don't take other people's advice on parenting.'
