[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually the best advice I got was 1) parenting is not intuitive and a non-parent can often have better advice than a parent, and 2) more often than not, there is not a direct causation between a parent's parenting style and a child's behavior.

Boy I disagree about it being intuitive. My best advice is to trust your mother's instinct. It's real and it will guide you. [/quote]

I agree with this especially with babies/toddlers. I think a lot of the problems that people have at this stage happen because they are having their heads turned but lots of advice about what you should and shouldn't do, when really you just need to pay attention to your child and meet their needs.

I have found parenting elementary-age kids more challenging and sometimes resist my intuition now because I can see that some instincts don't work within the society we actually live in (they might work great if we were still a hunter-gatherer society, but they don't work in madden society). But for little kids? Just trust yourself -- your love for them is a great guide and don't let people who are supposedly more "objective" tell you otherwise. [/quote]
