I feel like a lot of the advice that books and magazines give is misleading, and makes people think they are bad parents when they are really not. What “standard advice” do you really disagree with?
I need help, with my childs behavior. Do you know a chat site that has experts on parenting?
And what was the best?
Was there anyone that you hung on their every word, or someone that you pretended to listen to but thought they were full of it?
For children of all ages. Any advice at all.
~ I think mine would be to get video, lots of it. Because children grow up so much faster than planned.
I need the actual web sites’ addresses. I’ve tried to perform my own search; however, it only gave me offers for free subscriptions. I need it for work purposes. I am a Toddler Teacher. Thanks!
My friend is giving me parenting advice non stop because she’s been reading a parenting book written by a Nun (of all people to talk about being a parent) and she isn’t even a mom herself! I have a 2 year old who is just like every other 2 year old. She doesn’t want to eat, she throws fits etc.. But anyone will tell you that I’m a great mom and that my daughter is happy and a sweetheart. I’m sick of being told ” Don’t feed her this, don’t ever do that.. don’t punish ever!” I keep thinking “Just wait until theres a dirty diaper smeared across your kitchen wall or your kid is having a tantrum in the store and you are forced to leave” I would never ever spank my daughter but my friend is going so far as to tell me never to even give time outs. Who is she to give me this advice? She’s been married for barely a year and has no idea what parenting is like. She’s driving me nuts!!!
i think it’s just silly. people need to get their own ideas about parenting. it is a constant effort, you try different things and learn what you like and dont like by your own experiences. i dont understand why some people parent by things they read in books. is it that they dont have a mind for themselves?
I need either advice or a parenting guide for a single father of a teen daughter. I’m not being a brat either, he really did ask me to find out other people’s opinions for him, so honest answers please.
Adoption workers are paid by hopeful adoptive parents to find them a child (under 2 years of age, preferably an infant). With such a big stake in the adoption being finalized, do you think it is possible for adoption workers to give unbiased advice to either the adoptive parents or the pregnant mother (and the baby’s father)?
How much should they be trusted by adoptive parents?
How much should they be trusted by parents coping with an unexpected pregnancy?
Is there any lesson from your parents that you are passing on to your children? Please give your best parenting tips.
