Unfortunately, there is no manual that teaches parenting. If there was one, the author would likely get rich very quick, because all parents face challenges at one time or another. It is just a fact of life, and it never ceases to amaze.
Honestly, there are plenty of parenting books out there, and many of them have some wonderful advice. They teach parenting from every angle imaginable, and yet somehow, these so called experts dont realize that in order for a parent to have success with all of their children, they first need to know which parenting techniques work for that particular child and their issues and personality. It is all a matter of categorizing the children. Unfortunately, you could parent four or five kids and for some your parenting style will work, however for others all the tricks in the book dont have any affect at all and you may be left feeling frustrated.
This is why I make the suggestion that people read all the information that they can about parenting. The books, the websites, and the online chat and blogs of other parents, and then take what you can use and adapt it to your own life and children. There are some really great things that can be learned by the experts, but they also need to be adapted in many cases to different children and their personalities.
When you have a difficult parenting situation, dont be afraid to go online and ask the questions you have. You can get a lot of really great advice from other parents, and they sometimes will provide you with more useful advice than the experts. Why, you may ask? The answer is simple. These are the people in the trenches. They are the ones who are learning by trial and error. Sure they dont have the time to sit and write a book, but still they know the information and they can help you.
Parenting struggles can really wear you down, but dont give up. Use all the resources out there to get the information and support you need. There are some really great information sites that offer you online resources and support at your fingertips. Dont be afraid to ask for help. All parents need help and resources to get through. You are not alone.
