Ive seen a lot of worst parenting advice. But what about the best?

Expect the unexpected and don't take everything so seriously.

Don't EVER compare your children to each other.   Celebrate their individual strengths, and let them be who they are!!

That took me SUCH a long time to get over.  And my first two were boys!

Relax.  Someone, somewhere, is most assuredly doing a worse job than you are.

Its okay to spoil your kids but don't let them grow up to be dependent on you.
