What one piece of parenting advice would you personally recommend to parents to be?
One should never EVER under any circumstances ever ever hit a child -
but when you do they should come off your hand and stick on the wall !
Pick and choose your battles wisely, and do it with a great sense of humor.

Treat your baby (no matter how little s/he is) with the same respect, awareness that s/he is an individual little human being; and kindness you hope s/he will one day grow to have for others.

Remember that kids are naturally nice good people with no opinions, hangups, irrational fears or religion- it is parents who screw that little gift up.

I’m not a parent, I’m a teenager. I’ve heard how hard it is to parent since there is no universal “right way” to do it. There are a lot of stupid articles out there on parenting, and I’m sure there are plenty of good ones too. There are tons of books written on the subject, probably even videos on...
