5 parenting lessons parents wish they learned sooner
Most parents feel so disoriented after all that experience when they had their own kids. Most parents are unaware that they are ignorant of a great deal of information. Furthermore, most parents firsthand, close experience of parenting is through babysitting, which is very different from the reality of having your own children. After having children, most people realize that someone should have shared some secrets with them so that things would have turned out quite differently. Here are the top 5 parenting lessons most parents wish they had learned sooner:

If you've had more than one child, consider yourself really lucky. This lesson will truly resonate with you now, given how completely different your children are from one another! Yes, this is a marvel, but it leaves most parents at a loss about how to parent. Both children require you to parent them in two very distinct ways. Not everything that works for one will work for the other.


Even though most parents have said "time heals everything," children wish they had applied the lesson more forcefully. It may have been a nice, sentimental talk with Dad about how times have changed, but in the long term, it would have made the kids less nervous and gloomy to show them how much time can transform a difficult situation. Help your child and yourself learn the value of time when they are at a tender age.


Every day we have the chance to live each day to the fullest during this amazing period of your child’s life. They are currently bursting with love, enthusiasm, curiosity, an open mind, and an adventurous attitude. Now is the ideal moment to be active and present with them each and every day. This is about taking a deep breath and giving our children our whole attention, not simply about teaching them life lessons. Life as an adult fills up fast. Although our feeling of duty is admirable, it might prevent us from spending quality time with our children when we are constantly preoccupied with meeting their basic needs. Play with them much more. Together, construct and build.


Reduce talking and increase listening, particularly in the preteen and teen years of children in necessary. Seeing your children struggle is difficult for parents. The caregiver has a strong inclination to solve problems and offer suggestions right away. However, parents should eventually discover how to suppress this inclination and concentrate on listening instead.
It is therapeutic to be understood, validated, and heard by another person. Additionally, it fosters trust. Children and teenagers start to make meaning of their thoughts, feelings, and experiences when they share them with others.

Most people have trouble asking for help, even though they have been helping parents around them raise their children by giving them constant assistance. At first, parents try to do it all by themselves. It all seemed to fall into place. But gradually, they tend to feel burned out. The saying "it takes a village to raise a child" is indeed true. Finding your tribe and letting them assist is what we would advise any new mom to do.
