[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.

Wow, I completely disagree about it not being intuitive. I guess maybe some people truly have no intuitive instincts but my experience has been the exact (like, polar.) opposite.[/quote]

Parenting is highly intuitive for me and my husbands intuition is wrong about 95 percent of the time.

But, when I think about it, it’s not really intuition. It’s just decades of absorbing how to parent/deal with little kids - from growing up around them, babysitting, camp counseling, reading books and blogs long before I had kids and being generally interested and attuned to all this stuff. My husband just didn’t have the same experiences. It’s amazing to me that we both come from a place of love and can get to such different results. [/quote]
