Parenting Guidebooks or Manuals

Hi,

I am sorry to tell you that there are no complete Parenting Manuals or Guidebooks..!

Having said that, I am not saying that you should throw away all those books you could have bought to-date.

Importantly, we need to know our babies and children and apply what we have read or listen from our parents and friends.

What do I mean by that?

Firstly, our parents have brought us up into this world so they definitely must know a thing or two BUT it also does know means they are always right as time and technology have changed tremendously.

However, I still believe our parents are still most experienced and we should tap their knowledge.

Talking and discussing with our friends, colleagues and fellow parents are another big source of sharing parenting information.

However, listen and then decide what best suit your children as our kids are unique in their own ways. Not everything that works for other children will work for your own kids.

Finally, we will do some reading on our own if we have time. Again, digest what you have read and then modify them to suit your kids needs.

There is no ONE standard parenting manual for us though majority of the ideas may be common..!

Well, it may be tough but it is not any worse than like making any decision for your work or home.

Importantly, you have to be ready to take up the challenge of being a parent before you start a family.

Enjoy and love your children for what they are no matter how much a burden it may seem, at times.

Happy Parenting..!

David
