About this ebook

Parenting Tips: Practical Parents Handbook for the Amazing Journey of Parenthood from Birth, Parenting Toddlers and Beyond. Sometimes parents need a little guidance and direction. Babies do not come with an owner's manual for parenting. This book helps to shed light with this helpful advice on how to raise your children. Even though the job of parenting is as old as the dirt in which we step, still, new parents are faced with obstacles and tough decisions every day. It would be wonderful if there existed a parents helpline to call in times of need, but it is up to each parent to learn how to rear their children by reading parenting books and taking child advice and parenting tips from those who have been there before them. This is such a book that can be looked at as a type of parenting handbook or a helpline for parents.

    Parenting Tips - Chelsea Faber

    Introduction

    Parenting is a full-time job, a complete lifestyle change, and involves some of the most unique relationships anyone will ever have. There are so many decisions involved it can be overwhelming. Prospective parents may be asking themselves when they want to start a family, how many kids to have, how this will affect their living and working environments, and those are just the sort of basic introductory questions you would find on a survey. The intricacies of parenting are even more daunting.

    Even after prospective parents have everything in order, as far as their decisions to parent, they may contemplate the process of parenting itself and feel just as overwhelmed. Prospective parents may be thinking back to their own childhoods for inspiration, and find the memories fuzzy or difficult to apply to present situations. They may be asking themselves everything from how best to communicate with their children to how many hours of television should children watch per day. New parents may worry about everything from how much the world has changed since they were children to how long it’s been since they were children, and now they are on the other sides of the fence.

    If nothing else, while parenting may be a new frontier on a personal level, new parents are certainly not alone. Billions have done it before, and many of them have left detailed records of their experiences. Parenting is one of the most well researched areas of psychology, and full of up to date research addressing the challenges of raising children in the modern world. The Information Age has given millions of individual parents the opportunity to pour their experiences out onto the world, and new parents have the latest in child psychology right at their fingertips. They should rest assured that they have more resources at their hands than many parents before them. All new parents need to do is take advantage of what is available, for their own peace of mind, and for the good of themselves and their children.

    People Considering Having Children: Recommendations

    Take parenting classes and read parenting books:

    The traditional ethos that parenting should come naturally to everyone has been challenged in recent years. Education is helpful for anyone wanting to succeed at any endeavor, and parenting should be no exception. Many people take home economics in junior high and high school, learning how to do everything from make sound financial decisions to cooking and cleaning and maintaining a healthy household. A number of high school students are also taught some sex education, where they may learn about the risks of pregnancy and very little about childcare itself. The notion that schools should teach general life skills, as part of the rest of their curriculum, has been well established. Parenting classes are rarely required learning in high schools, however, and many people approach parenting with minimal experience in caring for children.

    Becoming self-educated about parenting is easier than ever before. Anyone interested in learning about proper parenting has a plethora of books available to them, written by everyone from child psychologists to experienced parents, or both. Prospective parents may feel overwhelmed seeing the huge amount of information available today. The Internet has only increased the amount of available perspectives on parenting. Many mothers and fathers have set up
