Parenting is probably the hardest job and yet, you are never trained for it! As education leaves out one of the most important tasks ever, some simple advice might be welcome.
If you are a mum or a dad, I hope this will help you! First I want to tell you that you are always doing your best with your kids. Unfortunately - and that’s one of the main reasons why you are reading this today, education missed out on one big topic: nobody ever taught you to be a parent. You have to make it up as you go along and that’s so hard. In my career as a teacher, I can honestly say that the vast majority of parents I met always really had their kids’ best interest at heart but sometimes, they just didn’t know how to get it across. Not for want of trying, just because of lack of training, as it were.
